1. A method for forming a triglyceride sample comprising:
a) receiving a hydrocarbon sample formed from an inorganic carbon feedstock;
b) oxidizing the hydrocarbon sample to form an oxygenate sample;
c) fractioning the oxygenate sample into a first narrow oxygenate distribution and a second narrow oxygenate distribution;
d) separating carboxylic acids in the first narrow oxygenate distribution from other oxygenates;
e) independent of d separating carboxylic acids in the second narrow oxygenate distribution from other oxygenates; and
f) esterifying the carboxylic acids from d and e with glycerol to form the triglyceride sample.
