533.    ---------------.  [CHEMICAL TRADE JOURNAL AND CHEMICAL ENGINEER.]  Edible Fats From Fischer-Tropsch Wax.  Vol. 105, 1940, p. 285.

                  References to large-scale experiments on the production of “ersatz” fats by the interaction of glycerin with the fatty acids made by the catalytic oxidation of the paraffin wax from the Fischer-Tropsch process have been frequent in the continental press over the past year or so.  Production of glycerin by fermentation of sugar solubles, a process used by Germany in 1914-18, may be revived, but it is more likely that all-synthetic route to glycerin from propylene will be the one chosen.
