It should be noted that the main difference between the raw material from commercial sources and that derived from palm oil lay in the lowest unsaturated fatty acid content in the latter oleic and linoleic. Palm oil had a higher percentage of saturated fatty acids palmitic, stearic, reflected in its lower iodine content.
Es de observar que la principal diferencia entre la materia prima de origen comercial y la derivada del aceite de palma radica en el menor contenido de ácidos grasos insaturados en esta última oleico y linoleico a cambio de un mayor porcentaje de saturados palmítico, esteárico, lo que se ve reflejado en su menor índice de yodo.
