Question about using soapers choice with soapcalc

[samirish]

So in the past I was using the walmart brand tallow and veggie mix shortening. According to soapcalc, the sap is 0.141.

Recently I ordered a large amount of tallow, veggie mix shortening from soapers choice. Soapers choice list the sap of this as 0.136

I noticed on soapcalc that soybean oil, also has a sap of 0.136

So while I will be using the soapers choice tallow and veggie shortning, as far as using soapcalc is concerned should I jut plug in soybean oil when figuring out recipes so I know the sap will be correct?

Thanks all

That is probably what I would do; but sap values vary on the charts. I think this is due to the process used in refining oils and fats.
