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. But there’s a surprising amount to learn about What’s this? this liquid gold.

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.

Case Study #4: Characterization of Edible Oils, Butters and Margarines by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Attenuated Total Reflectance
Case Study #4: Characterization of Edible Oils, Butters and Margarines by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Attenuated Total Reflectance Intro We consume oil, butter and margarine on a daily basis, but do we actually know what is inside each of these products? How do they differ in terms of fat and water content? In a paper by Safar et al., the authors characterized various types of these lipid-rich foods using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to determine their chemical composition.

The surfaces of the protein and starch bodies of the nut solids are smooth due to a reduction of cytoplastic reticuli surrounding the protein bodies. The particle size distribution is monodispersed, i.e. a curve with a single peak. A process for preparing these particle size peanuts using a roll milling process which can be followed by a separate smearing step is also disclosed.

Food Scientist's Guide to Fats and Oils For
FOOD SCIENTIST’S GUIDE TO FATS AND OILS FOR MARGARINE AND SPREADS DEVELOPMENT by KATHLEEN M. MORLOK B.S., University of Minnesota, 2005 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Food Science KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Kelly J.K. Getty Animal Sciences & Industry Abstract Fats and oils are an important topic in the margarine and spreads industry. The selection of these ingredients can be based on many factors including flavor, functionality, cost, and health aspects. In general, fat is an important component of a healthy diet. Fat or oil provides nine calories per gram of energy, transports essential vitamins, and is necessary in cellular structure. Major shifts in consumption of fats and oils through history have been driven by consumer demand. An example is the decline in animal fat consumption due to consumers’ concern over saturated fats. Also, consumers’ concern over the obesity epidemic and coronary heart disease has driven demand for new, lower calorie, nutrient-rich spreads products. Fats and oils can be separated into many different subgroups. “Fats” generally refer to lipids that are solid at room temperature while “oils” refer to those that are liquid. Fatty acids can be either saturated or unsaturated. If they are unsaturated, they can be either mono-, di-, or poly-unsaturated. Also, unsaturated bonds can be in the cis or trans conformation. A triglyceride, which is three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol backbone, can have any combination of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Triglycerides are the primary components of animal and vegetable fats and oils.

Cottonseed Oil Vs. Peanut Oil
Cottonseed Oil vs. Peanut Oil When comparing Cottonseed Oil to Peanut Oil you have to understand that both oils are a high quality oil. Both oils have very good traits and are very good for high temperature cook- ing. They both have relatively high smoke points* and flash- points.** However, cottonseed is slightly higher for both points. The smoke point is important because if you smoke the oil it will ruin it. One important difference in the two oils is the allergens. Cot- tonseed oil is non-allergenic, offering an alternative to certain allergen products. Cottonseed oil offers a neutral flavor to enhance the foods be- ing cooked. This allows the true flavor of the food and mari- nade to be tasted. Cottonseed oil will not carry the flavor of the foods cooked. This allows you to cook several different foods and not have everything tasting like the first thing you cooked. Both oils can be reused with proper filtering, but the peanut oil may tend to break down faster depending on the tempera- ture used for cooking. This means you may not get as many uses or cooking opportunities as with Cottonseed oil. There are a couple of things that affect cooking oils. The first being the marinade that is used when cooking. The marinade will go rancid before the oil. The next factor is the storage of the oil. Any cooking oil needs to be stored in a cool and dark place. Sunlight will break down cooking oils and cause them to deteriorate faster. * Approx. 425° Fahrenheit **Approx.
