Is Trioleate vegetarian?

Trioleate refers to the triester of oleic acid, most notably triolein (glyceryl trioleate), a triglyceride found in olive oil and many other plant and animal fats. As a compound derived from oleic acid, its vegan status depends on whether the glycerol and fatty acid components are sourced from plant or animal origin.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
