Neither. It is an oil. An ester is produced from an organic acid and alcohol. Squalene is a natural organic compound originally obtained for commercial purposes primarily from shark liver oil, though there are botanic sources as well, including amaranth seed, rice bran, wheat germ, and olives. All higher organisms produce squalene, including humans. It is a hydrocarbon and a triterpene.
Flu vaccine contains squalene oil as an adjuvant. Squalene is not just a molecule found in a knee or elbow - it is found throughout the nervous system and the brain." When injected in the body, the immune system attacks it as an enemy to be eliminated.
For humans eating and digesting squalene isn't a problem. But injecting it "galvanize(s) the immune system into attacking it, which can produce self-destructive cross reactions against the same molecule in the places where it occurs naturally in the body - and where it is critical to the health of the nervous system." Once self-destruction begins, it doesn't stop as the body keeps making the molecule that the immune system is trained to attack and destroy. Matsumoto says "Squalene is a kind of trigger for (a) real biological weapon," what Soviet researchers called "a biological time bomb!!" He and Dr. Pam Asa conclude that "Oil adjuvants are the most insidious chemical weapon ever devised," including ones with squalene. So what American scientists conceived as a vaccine booster (or what's now being developed in labs) was another 'nano-bomb,' instigating chronic, unpredictable and debilitating disease. Using squalene in vaccines is outlandish and criminal. http://euro-med.dk/?p=9152
It makes Ester ! :) ^^
oxidation
Acetic acid when reacts with an alcohol forms an ester, CH3COOH + C2H5OH = CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
Hydrocarbon < ether < alcohol < carboxylic acid
Acid has little or no effect except possible exchange of acid groupd between ester and the introduced acid - transesterification. Base - a salt of the acid part of the ester will form and the alcohol or some substituted form of it - that depends on the base used. There is no simple answer as the acids and bases that could be used are almost limitless.

Ester linkages are formed from an organic acid and an alcohol.
Transesterification is used in the production of bio-diesels and polyesters. It means interesterification. For better clarification, there is a reaction between an ester of one alcohol and a second alcohol to form an ester of the second alcohol. The alcohol from the original ester as that of methyl acetate and ethyl alcohol turn to form ethyl acetate and methyl alcohol.
ester is formed by the reactin alcohol with an acid .with the elimination of water.
Either an acidic of basic condition can produce hydrolysis of an ester. An ester is derived from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
The salt of an alcohol and an acid is an ester.
An ester is the combination of an acid and an alcohol.
The ester formed is Iso-propyl cinnamate.
yes, in presence of base, esters can be hydrolysed to alcohol and acid.
an ester is formed
X-OH + HOOC-Y = X-O-CO-Y + H2O alcohol + acid = ester + water so -O-CO- is an ester
