Acidulated soap stocks are a by-product of oil and fat refining, produced by the treatment of oils and fats with alkali and water followed by acidulation to liberate the fatty acids and glycerides, which are then separated from the aqueous layer.

Typically, acidulated soap stocks are comprised mainly of fatty acids and glycerides, in varying proportions.
