Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chemical Technology and Analysis of Oils, Fats, and Waxes, Vol. 3 of 3: With 28 Illustrations and Numerous Tables
The biochemical synthesis of oils and fats, although carried out by nature on an enormous scale, with the aid of water, from the lowest carbon derivatives, such as carbonic dioxide, aldehyde, etc., does not yet fall within the purview of manufacturing Operations. Since the supply of natural oils and fats is well-nigh inexhaustible, their technical preparation by synthetical methods has no practical importance, except in the case Of acetin, the triglyceride of acetic acid (see below).
