A variant of 'Olein'

I'm wondering if the E is wrong- Olein seems a more likely answer in alocal crossword

[MollyBawn]

Thank you so much for your answers.

[Captain2]

Well I've never head of either of them FF; so Molly's decision. :))

19 Down ester

[Captain2]

Have you a definition of 'Ester' Darh? Only thing I can find for ester doesn't really match the clue.

[Mamyalynne]

//esters in biology, being one of the main classes of lipids, and making up the bulk of animal fats and vegetable oils.//

?

[Captain2]

Ta Mamya, saw that but........ I did Maths, Geography and German so am pretty clueless!!! ;0)))

[fiction-factory]

Where was your n from please, Molly?

[Darh]

Sorry it’s wrong it is Elain

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, stand easy.

[fiction-factory]

Good. I was unhappy with ester- it's a long time since I did biology but I understood all fats were esters so I couldn't see why 'clarified' was specified

[MollyBawn]

I’m sure all the letters are right. Elaine seems right.
Thanks everybody.
