The saponification value is the amount of base required to saponify a fat sample. For soap making, the triglycerides are highly purified, but saponification includes other base hydrolysis of unpurified triglycerides, for example, the conversion of the fat of a corpse into adipocere, often called grave wax.
The Carb Count in Carrots. Fresh carrots Photo Credit Alicja Bochenek/iStock/Getty Images. One medium carrot has about 6 grams of carbohydrates. One-half cup of baby carrots -- the amount the American Diabetes Association suggests for a midday snack -- also contains about 6 grams of carbs. Because carrots have so much fiber, they affect metabolism differently than other carbs.
Non-starchy vegetables have 1 to 16 grams of carbohydrates in a 1-cup serving, according to the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory. This list includes green beans, broccoli, carrots, celery, beets, spinach, cucumbers, bell peppers and tomatoes. All types of lettuce only have about 2 grams in a 2-cup serving. The starchy vegetables -- corn and potatoes -- have more carbohydrates. One cup of raw corn has 27 grams, 1 medium potato has 26 grams and a medium sweet potato has 33 grams of carbohydrates.
