Therefrom

Hello everybody~~

How can we rephrase "analysis of oils and of the product derived therefrom" using relative pronoun?

Maybe, "analysis of oils and of the product derived from the analysis oils"?

Or, "analysis of oils and of the product derived from it"?

Or, "therefrom" is not suitable to be rephrased into relative clauses?

Therefrom means from that place, time, or thing. In the original sentence, the product is derived from the oils, and the analysis is conducted on the oils and the resulting product. " "Them" referring to oils plural, rather than "it" refering to the analysis, since in the first sentence the derived product is also being analyzed.

"analysis of oils and of the product derived from them" would be correct English and would have the right meaning, but one does somehow feel that "product" should be "products". More relevant to the actual question, though, the relative pronoun is omitted, so it seems not to satisfy the requirement. This could be addressed by inserting the relative pronoun.
