Support for Lipid Library is generously provided by Oil-Dri.
Oil-Dri’s products, including Pure-Flo®, Supreme®, and Perform® bleaching clays, excel in the purification of fats, oils, and oleochemicals. Our Select® adsorbents are effective at removing impurities in a biodiesel process and can replace the use of a water wash centrifuge in vegetable oil refining. Additionally, our latest innovations, Metal-X® and Metal-Z®, are engineered to efficiently remove trace metals from diverse feedstocks used in renewable diesel processing.
Triglyceride Property Calculator
Explore how molecular composition and polymorphic form affects the melting properties of triacylglycerides (TAGs). The calculator uses various empirical models to predict melting enthalpy and temperature for triacylglycerides of various molecular compositions and melting properties specified by the user.
When available, experimentally determined melting properties are provided for comparison.
