You have asked a very good question, First of all one has to know the length of the fatty acid carbon chain connected to the glyceride of the fat that you are processing (i.e. oleic, lineolaic,palmatic, etc.) Then you ratio the molar weight of the of the fatty acid components to the glycerol.

Ricin isnt a problem if you compost it immediately and keep your stocks down near zero. if you have a negligible amount of the stuff on hand, keep accurate records of it, and keep it under tight security, noone can really say anything. Pannir Selvam in Brazil was previously talking of a method

Yes,both Keith and David are right. Unless you are referring to palm oil, which have an unusual fatty acid composition, the amount of glycerine in most vegetable oils is roughly 10% by mass. Jan Warnqvist AGERATEC AB [EMAIL PROTECTED] + 46 554 201 89 +46 70 499 38 45 - Original Message -

for back of the envelope accuracy, whether fat or oil, to two significant digits one can estimate the molecular wt of the oil to be about 900 (slightly high) and the density is about .9 so the fat/oil contains about one mole per liter, therefore one mole of glycerin is present. The molecular
