A) (ex) “…The nineteenth century brought with it a burst of new discoveries and inventions that revolutionized the
candle industry and made lighting available to all. In the early-to-mid-nineteenth century, a process was developed to
refine tallow (fat from animals) with alkali and sulfuric acid. The result was a product called stearin. Stearin is harder and
burns longer than unrefined tallow. This breakthrough meant that it was possible to make tallow candles that would not
produce the usual smoke and rancid odor. Stearins were also derived from palm oils, so vegetable waxes as well as
animal fats could be used to make candles…”
