It is a fruit growing on a tree, a species of acacia. "The pods hang down, and only the swad is used for feeding cattle." Why , then , does the Chancellor of the Exchequer tax locust beans as a kind of wheat? Have his Park-lane friends warned him against manna?

When exposed to the temperature of 32°, it deposits stearin, and the oil separated from the stearin by filtration is soluble in 0.82 of pure alcohol when heated to about 168° Fahr.
Palmkernel (PK) oil is fractionated in one step to concentrate the triglycerides containing medium-chain fatty acids (lauric and myristic) into a stearin fraction.
Stearin is a hard, nongreasy substance, an ester of stearic acid, that is mixed with molten tallow at about a 1:9 ratio to make a tallow candle that is harder, burns longer, and does not give off the usual smoke and unpleasant odors of ordinary tallow.
