  • Cooking Oil Facts

    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.

    Nutrition Handout N09: What Are the Types of Fat?

    N09 What Are the Types of Fat? Most foods contain several different kinds of fat. Some are better for your health than others. It is wise to choose healthier types of fat, and enjoy them in moderation. Keep in mind that even healthier fats contain calories and should be used sparingly for weight management. Here is some information about healthy and harmful dietary fats. The four major types of fats are: • Monounsaturated fats • Polyunsaturated fats • Saturated fats • Trans fats Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are known as “healthy fats” because they are good for your heart, cholesterol levels, and overall health. These fats tend to be “liquid” at room temperature. Consider beneficial polyunsaturated fats containing Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish, flaxseed, and walnuts. www.move.va.gov Nutrition Handouts • N09 Version 5.0 Page 1 of 3 Healthy Dietary Fats Monounsaturated Fat Polyunsaturated Fat Olive oil Soybean oil Canola oil Corn oil Sunflower oil Safflower oil Peanut oil Walnuts Olives Sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds; flaxseed Nuts (almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, macadamia nuts, pecans, cashews) trout, anchovies, sardines, and eel) Avocados Soymilk Peanut butter Tofu Tips for increasing healthy fats in your diet: • Cook with olive oil. • Plan snacks of nuts or olives. • Eat more avocados. • Dress your own salads instead of using commercial dressings. Saturated fats and trans fats are known as the “harmful fats.” They increase your risk of disease and elevate cholesterol. Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature, but they are also found in liquid tropical oils (palm and coconut).
  • Non-Food Uses of Meat Fats

    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.

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.

Balaji Raja2* 1Department of Biotechnology, SRM University, Kattankulathur, Tamilnadu, India. 2Department of Biotechnology, National Institute of Technology, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Accepted 15 September, 2010 Ghee has a considerable amount of trans fatty acids found in the form of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. Trans fatty acids are quite harmful to general health of an individual especially the CVS (Cardio Vascular System). Accumulation of trans fatty acids in blood vessels and other tissues/organs of the body can have fatal effect especially in obese population. Four commercial brands of ghee found in Indian markets were chosen and their trans fatty acid content was determined by FTIR (Fourier Trans Infra Red) spectroscopy. The trans fatty acids were found in all the four brands with GRB having the highest concentration of it. Sakthi brand was observed to have moderate content of trans fatty acids. Aachi and RKG brands were having the least concentration of trans fatty acids. These results obtained from the present study would be aiding to an increase in consumer awareness about presence of trans fatty acids in food items and better appraisal by the companies and thus improving the current scenario. Key words: Ghee, trans fatty acids, FTIR, consumer awareness, cardiovascular system, public health, Indian market, food items.

  • Flaky Lard and Butter Pastry

    Flaky Lard and Butter Pastry

    Flaky Lard and Butter Pastry Yield Enough dough for two 9-inch single-crust pies or one 10-inch double crust pie Time About 30 minutes of active time, plus three 20- to 30-minute periods of refrigeration to rest the dough between turns Baking Notes This pastry recipe, a standard pie dough with “turns,” can also be called a semi-puff pastry. Semi-puff has the virtue of being simpler to execute than classic puff pastry while producing exquisite flakiness and a bit of lift that gets close to the real deal. Close enough for us. The turns also give the dough unflappability in terms of handling. Each full turn involves rolling the dough out into a long rectangle and folding it across itself into thirds. Then the process is repeated. The dough will show chunks of butter at the early stages and look scraggly and ragged. But with successive turns it will become easier to work with and progressively tidier. As with all of Anson Mills heirloom flours, this pastry flour hydrates slowly. The initial rough dough may feel dry, but resist the impulse to add additional water. All the ingredients for this crust should be frozen first. Of course, your flour is already frozen, right? Because Anson Mills flour lives in the freezer. The lard will be frozen, too. Freeze the butter for a half hour before making the pastry. Equipment Mise en Place For this recipe, you will need a digital kitchen scale, a food processor, a large mixing bowl, a rubber spatula, a bench knife, plastic wrap, a rolling pin, and a ruler.
