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.
Compare this with the same serving size (Â½ cup) of cooked carrots: 1  36 total calories. 2  1 gram of protein (1 gram times 4 calories = 4 calories from protein) 3  0 grams of fat (0 grams times 0 calories = 0 calories from fat) 4  8 grams of carbohydrate (8 grams times 4 calories = 32 calories from carbohydrate)
