Summary The glycerolysis of peanut and mustard oils has been carried out in the presence of catalysts such as lime and litharge. The effect of time and temperature on the rate of glycerolysis has been studied. The monoglyceride contents and hydroxyl values of the washed samples have been determined. The diglyceride and triglyceride contents of the products have been computed from the monoglyceride percentage and the hydroxyl values.
