| 1. A process comprising:
contacting a hydrocarbon boiling in the temperature range of from about 80° F. to about 1000° F. and a triglyceride to form
a mixture, and
contacting the mixture with a hydrotreating catalyst in a fixed bed reactor under a condition sufficient to produce a reaction
product containing diesel boiling range hydrocarbons,
wherein the condition includes a pressure of less than about 600 psig and a temperature in the range of from about 600° F.
to about 800° F.,
wherein said reaction product has a greater amount of n-C17 hydrocarbon products than n-C18 hydrocarbon products.
