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.
Having 1 cup of raw, chopped carrots provides more than 10 grams of carbs. Carrots add fiber to your diet -- nearly 4 grams per 1 cup of raw chopped carrots. You need 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories you consume, or 35 grams for a 2,500-calorie diet.
