  • Olive Oil Jars Left Behind By
    live oil jars left behind by the ancient Greeks are testament to our centuries- old use of cooking oil. Along with salt and pepper, oil Oremains one of the most important and versatile tools in your kitchen. It keeps food from sticking to pans, adds flavor and moisture, and conducts the heat that turns a humble stick of potato into a glorious french fry. Like butter and other fats, cooking oil also acts as a powerful solvent, unleashing fat-soluble nutrients and flavor compounds in everything from tomatoes and onions to spices and herbs. It’s why so many strike recipes begin with heating garlic in oil rather than, say, simmering it in water. The ancient Greeks didn’t tap many cooking oils. (Let’s see: olive oil, olive oil, or—ooh, this is exciting!—how about olive oil?) But you certainly can. From canola to safflower to grapeseed to walnut, each oil has its own unique flavor (or lack thereof), aroma, and optimal cooking temperature. Choosing the right kind for the task at hand can save you money, boost your health, and improve your cooking. OK, so you probably don’t stop to consider your cooking oil very often.

  • Cooking Oil Facts
    Cooking Oil Facts As you enter a department store, you behold an array of cooking oils sporting all types of jargon on the packaging -- saturated fats, unsaturated fats, refined, filtered, ricebran oil, vanaspati, etc. Confused already? With so much variety and so many brands flooding the market today, buying the right cooking oil can prove a tough task. Different oils fill different needs - for health, taste and cooking. For good health, our bodies need a variety of healthy fats that are found naturally in different oils. When cooking, it's essential to know which oils are best for baking, sautéing and frying and which are healthiest used raw. Why have Oil (fats)? Contrary to popular belief, fat is actually a valuable part of one's diet, allowing people to absorb nutrients that require fat in order to metabolize in the body. Natural fats contain varying ratios of three types of fats: saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. • Saturated fats are hard at room temperature. They're stable, resist oxidation, and are found primarily in meat, dairy, palm and coconut oil. • Polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and the least stable. They oxidize easily and are found in seafood corn, safflower, soybean, and sunflower oils. • Monounsaturated fats are more stable than polyunsaturated fats. They're found in canola, nut and olive oils. It is recommended to limit saturated fats in the diet due to their association with cardiovascular disease. Also, you should try to rely more on monounsaturated than polyunsaturated fats. What are the varieties of Oil available in the market? Choosing which oil should be used in cooking is a big issue and concern for many people because of the fat and cholesterol contents of cooking oil.

  • Non-Food Uses of Meat Fats
    NON-FOOD USES OF MEAT FATS dm H. W. WILDER AMERICAN MEAT INSTITUTE FOUNDATION ....-.o..-o.-o...-...-......-...o- Large quantities of animal fats are produced each year which are not used for food purposesl These tallows and greases result from the ren- dering of the so-called inedible tissues, trimmings, and waste fats from slaughterhouses, processing plants, retail markets, restaurants, and any other places where meat is handled. The meat packing and rendering industry is now producing this fat at the rate of approximately 2,782,000,000 pounds per year. In finding uses for tallow and grease, it is necessary to consider the whole fats and oils picture as regards supply and demand since there is considerable interchangeability in the fats and oils and they compete directly or indirectly for markets. For example, we import sizable quantities of coconut oil. If a substitute was developed from domestic sources, then coconut oil would compete in the world markets with our other fats which we export, particularly tallow and grease. During the past twenty years, the United States has shifted dra- matically from having been a major importer of fats to a present position as the world's largest exporter. Exports, however, cannot be counted upon to relieve our surplus in future years. A recent report (Feedstuffs, June 7, 1958, pp. 1 & 4) indicates that exports for the past 6 months have been 25 per cent lower than for the same period a year ago. New and expanded uses for tallow and grease are essential. New uses stem solely from research and it is evident that we have not had enough research developing new uses for tallow and grease.

  • Edible Oils As Practical Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage
    applied sciences Article Edible Oils as Practical Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage Samer Kahwaji 1 and Mary Anne White 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemistry, Dalhousie University, Halifax, B3H 4R2, Canada; [email protected] 2 Clean Technologies Research Institute, Dalhousie University, Halifax, B3H 4R2, Canada * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 February 2019; Accepted: 17 April 2019; Published: 19 April 2019 Featured Application: Passive thermal management of residential greenhouses. Abstract: Edible oils could provide more accessible alternatives to other phase change materials (PCMs) for consumers who wish to build a thermal energy storage (TES) system with sustainable materials. Edible oils have good shelf life, can be acquired easily from local stores and can be less expensive than other PCMs. In this work, we explore whether margarine, vegetable shortening, and coconut oil are feasible PCMs, by investigations of their thermal properties and thermal stability. We found that margarine and vegetable shortening are not useful for TES due to their low latent heat of fusion, DfusH, and poor thermal stability. In contrast, coconut oil remained thermally stable after 200 melt-freeze cycles, and has a large D H of 105 11 J g 1, a low degree of supercooling fus ± − and a transition temperature, Tmpt = 24.5 1.5 C, that makes it very useful for TES in buildings. ± ◦ We also determined coconut oil’s heat capacity and thermal conductivity as functions of temperature and used the measured properties to evaluate the feasibility of coconut oil for thermal buffering and passive heating of a residential-scale greenhouse.

  • Oleochemicals Series
    OLEOCHEMICALS FATTY ACIDS This section will concentrate on Fatty Acids produced from natural fats and oils (i.e. not those derived from petroleum products). Firstly though, we will recap briefly on Nomenclature. We spent some time clarifying the structure of oleochemicals and we saw how carbon atoms link together to form carbon chains of varying length (usually even numbered in nature, although animal fats from ruminant animals can have odd-numbered chains). A fatty acid has at least one carboxyl group (a carbon attached to two oxygens (-O) and a hydrogen (-H), usually represented as -COOH in shorthand) appended to the carbon chain (the last carbon in the chain being the one that the oxygen and hydrogen inhabit). We will only be talking about chains with one carboxyl group attached (generally called “monocarboxylic acids”). The acids can be named in many ways, which can be confusing, so we will try and keep it as simple as possible. The table opposite shows the acid designations as either the “length of the carbon chain” or the “common name”. While it is interesting to know the common name for a particular acid, we will try to use the chainlength in any discussion so you do not have to translate. Finally, it is usual to speak about unsaturated acids using their chainlength suffixed with an indication of the number of double bonds present. Thus, C16=1 is the C16 acid with one double bond; C18=2 is the C18 acid with two double bonds and so on. SELECTING RAW MATERIALS FOR FATTY ACID PRODUCTION In principle, fatty acids can be produced from any oil or fat by hydrolytic or lipolytic splitting (reaction with water using high pressure and temperature or enzymes).

We analyzed energy, total fat, saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), cholesterol, protein, carbohydrates, nine minerals, and nine vitamins. We included five sub-groups: butter, vegetable oils, margarine and other hydrogenated vegetable fats, olive oil, and other animal fats. The basis for our analysis was data from the 2016 household budget survey, conducted on a representative sample of the Polish population (36,886 households, n = 99,230). We used the cluster analysis to assess the impact of socio-demographic and economic factors on the volume of fats and oil consumption and on the share of particular products in the supply of energy and nutrients. Our findings indicated that fats and oils contributed 32.9% of the total fat supply, which placed these products in first position among main food groups. Meat and its products ranked second (30.8%) in the total fat supply, while milk and dairy products, including cream (13.4%), were the third food group.
