Summary
An alkali rendering process for the production of edible animal fats has been described.
Laboratory and semi-plant scale experiments indicate that high quality edible lard and beef fat may be produced in a semi-continuous process.
Alkali rendered pork and beef fats are suitable for compounding into high quality domestic and commercial shorteners.
