Abstract: Combustible mixtures for burning applications, such as candles and liquid candles or lamps, comprising low-weight alkyl esters of fatty acids, and preferably methyl esters, as combustion enhancers are disclosed. These esters constitute a natural, renewable alternative to petroleum-derived fuels. The invention is based on the discovery that alkyl esters mixed with paraffin-based or carboxylic acid-based candle fuels yield combustible mixtures with enhanced combustion performance.
