This article delves into the chemistry of diesel and biodiesel, examining their production through soap-making processes and the nutrition and health implications of each. It highlights the fundamental molecular structures involved, such as triglycerides and alcohols. Furthermore, it contrasts biodiesel with straight vegetable oil (SVO), waste vegetable oil (WVO), and other fuels. Key components like glycerol and fatty acids are discussed, along with links to resources for a deeper understanding of their chemical behaviors and environmental impact.

Making soap . . . Glycerol Triglyceride (fat) . . . making biodiesel. Compare with SVO,WVO,PPO, ROH.
