Triolein is also known as glyceryl trioleate and is one of the two components of Lorenzo's oil.[2]

The oxidation of triolein is according to the formula:

C
57
H
104
O
6
+ 80 O
2
→ 57 CO
2
+ 52 H
2
O

This gives a respiratory quotient of 57/80 or 0.7125. The heat of combustion is 8,389 kcal (35,100 kJ) per mole or 9.474 kcal (39.64 kJ) per gram. Per mole of oxygen it is 104.9 kcal (439 kJ).
