Hi David R., That sounds like some great reading ! Can`t wait to get a copy . It`ll be next week before I get over to the book store . In the meantime I`m going to get that info about the lipase enzyme catalyst , and the process to turn soap into biodiesel. I`ll keep you posted on my search, and everyone else of course also.
