Compact reaction mechanism with 127 reactions and 59 species. Z127 is a multicomponent mechanism consisting of five methyl ester fuels – Methyl palmitate (MP), methyl stearate (MST), methyl oleate (MO), methyl lineleate (MLO) and methyl linolenate (MLN). By combining these five molecules in certain amounts different fatty acid methyl esters can be produced, such as Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME), Soybean Methyl Ester (SME) or Palm Methyl Ester (PME).

Note that the fuel breakdown reactions for the five methyl esters in Z127 are independent of each other, meaning that one can use anywhere between one and five species in the mixture and exclude all fuel breakdown reactions of species that are not included. For example, if one only aim at simulating MST and MO then the reactions for the other three species can be excluded and the mechanism size decrease.
