Chemical Components Any vegetable oil or animal fat can be used as a feedstock for biodiesel production; as these are natural products, they are mixtures of several component oils and fats. These oils/fats are triglyceride molecules (glycerin esterified with three fatty acids). The -Rx groups shown here varies according to the source of the oil/fat:
O O O

BIODIESEL IN CHEMCAD
For unused oils, such as soybean, palm, lard, etc., there is a typical assay showing the percentage of constituent fatty acids (from the Rx groups above) making up the oil/fat. A table showing the weight percents of fatty acids contained in a number of common oils/fats is shown below:
