GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
Commercial fats produced by organic processes in plants are palm, coconut, palm kernel, sunflower,  soybean, and other oils. 
Their main components are triolein and triglyceryl esters of stearic (C18), palmitic (C16), myristic(C14), lauric (C12), oleic (C18:1), and other fatty acids. 
Tallow is a refined hard fat extracted from fatty deposits of animals, especially from suet (fatty tissues around the kidneys of cattle and sheep). 
The molecules of most natural fatty acids have an even number of carbon chains due to the linkage together by ester units. 
Analogous compounds of odd numbers carbon chain fatty acids can be made synthetically. 
All fats are insoluble in water and have lighter weight than water. 
Industrial fats can be sub-classified as fat, grease or oil depending on melting point. 
Fats that are liquid at room temperature are referred to oil. 
Grease has a higher initial viscosity than oil. 

APPLICATIONS of Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate:
Ready-to-use surfactant blend
Sulfate-free formulations
Hand washes
Body washes
Face washes
Shampoos

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is used as a lubricant. 
The organic processes to convert fats to fatty acids (or esters) and glycerol is called oleochemistry. 
Fatty acids and glycerol are produced by hydrolysis (addition reaction of water molecule with cleavage of parent molecules) of the triglycerides. 
Fatty esters are produced by esterification reaction. 
Coconut or palm oils are better source to get saturated fatty acids than sunflower, soybean or rapeseed oils which have more unsaturated fatty acids composition of triglycerides. 
Tall oil is a source of low boiling point fatty acids. 
Generally, commercial coconut fatty acid has carbon chain composition of; C10 (5% max) + C12 (45 - 55%) + C14 (20 - 25%) + C16 (10 - 15 %) + C18 (10 - 15% max, including unsaturated fatty acids). 
Fats are used to make soap, food products, cosmetics, and candles, and lubricants. 
Sodium Cocoyl Glutamates are wisely used in producing synthetic surfactants.
