I'm not a petro-engineer - so not sure if I'm qualified to answer. But, I do read test results a bit.

If you're concerned, why not just pick an additive that has been tested and proven to work?
The US Military, Stanadyne, CAV, Power Service, etc. all have published test results - along with info on how much to add per gallon.

And, if you want an organic additive - here are a few:

Canola oil (LEAR or Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed) - visc at 40 degrees C = 37, Cetane -
40-50
Castor oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 297
Corn oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 35
Cotton-seed oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 33.5
Crambe oil (Abyssinian Mustard)- visc at 40 degrees C = 53.6
Linseed oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 27.2
Peanut oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 39.6
Rapeseed oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 37
Safflower oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 31.3
High-oleic Safflower oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 41.2
Sessame oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 35.5
Soybean oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 32.6
Sunflower oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 37.1
Tallow oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 51.1
Certified Biodiesel ASTM D-6751 - visc at 40 degrees C = 1.9 - 6 , Cetane - 45-65
