Herein we report the catalytic transformations of methyl oleate, a model FAME molecule, and a commercial sample of biodiesel over novel mesoporous gallium-niobium oxides. The results are compared with those obtained over conventional acidic molecular sieves like H-ZSM-5, H- Beta, H-Y, SAPO-11 and H- MCM-22.
