Adding new fat

[Fiut]

I want to add a new fat in the list. I searched for info about it - African Kombo butter. Found scientific researches with publications for fatty acid profile, SAP value and iodine values and how it is in soap too. How can I add it?

In order to keep the database 100% "clean" and correct, we add items when asked to, as needed. If you can give me the information here, we can add the new oil to our database.

Thank you! So here is the information I found on Kombo Butter (pressed crude): SAP value KOH 0.234,5, SAP value NaOH 0.167, iodine 70.6. Fatty acid profile: Myristic 23, Palmitic 49, Stearic 17, Oleic 9.
Links to academic documents to read about: Comparative physico-chemical evaluation of kombo kernel fat produced by three different processes, ANALYSIS OF FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF KOMBO (PYCNANTHUS ANGOLENSIS) BUTTER, Yield and quality of Pycnanthus kombokernel butter as affected by temperature-moisture interactions
So far I'm using a substitution of Tucuma Seed Butter with similar SAP value, but it has different fatty acid profile.

Dear Admin!
One of my favourite oils is dill seed oil. I have been searching for months for it (maybe more than a year) and finally found a scientific paper with an almost complete database on the saponification properties of dill seed oil. I would send you a link to the pdf here. May I ask you to check it and if it’s worth incorporating it into the database? Thank you very much in advance! Here is the link:

I put a ticket into the developer for that addition- thanks for the suggestion!
