A triglyceride is a compound where one molecule of the alcohol glycerol, HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH, combines with three molecules of fatty acids. Triglycerides are the main components of vegetable oils and animal fats and provide plants and animals with energy reserves for all metabolic activities. Tallow triglycerides are found in tallow, the end product of suet―which is raw beef, mutton or bovine fat―after the suet has been melted, simmered, strained and cooled repetitively.
