Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) is generally used as a feedstock in the production of Biodiesel. Animal fats can also be reacted into Biodiesel. Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification. Transesterification separates glycerin from SVO (or animal fat). The products of this process are Biodiesel (technically known as a methyl ester) and glycerin, a common ingredient in soap and pharmaceutical products.
