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 . . . “

- a) They did not smoke when they were burned.
- b) They produced a pleasant odor as they burned.
