Mineral Oil Oxidation

[Brwagur]

I have an idea but I'm not sure if it will work or how to make it work:

OK, so if you take mineral oil (15-40 Carbons) and oxidize it (what oxidant should I use?) you should get an alcohol, like cetyl alcohol but longer chain, and if it is oxidized more it should become a carboxylic acid- a fatty acid. Is this correct so far?

Now, if this would produce fatty acids, how could I 'esterize' it with glycerine to make a triglyceride. Can this be done? I think my terminology is wrong but I hope what I'm saying is clear. This is just somthing that I have been thinking about and want to try.
