Plant oil fatty acids
What is the important of fatty acid fractions and their molecular weight for the plant oils? For example Hexanoic acid (C6) and palmitic acid (C16). How will these fatty acid contents affect the characteristic of the oil?

It all depends on your purpose. Different fatty acids have different properties. But when you talk about soap, for instance, you talk about properties such as bubbly, creamy, etc. and when you talk about skin care, it’s a different conversation entirely.
