Hi,
During our lab test, we had been given a piece of brown paper. On the paper
there were two circles with same radius. On both of the circles there was a
spot; one was of coconut oil and one was of castor oil. The coconut oil spot was
bigger. However, I felt as if castor oil was more translucent tahn coconut oil.
By reseraching on the net i found these 2 things contradictory. It could be -i
am just guessing- that may be that on the paper, we were provided, the quantity
of coconut oil could be more than that of the castor oil, because we were just
given the sheet. Which oil has more lipids?
Thakns a lot
