Fat Facts Canola Oil Canola oil is extracted from the seeds of the canola plant, which was developed through crossbreeding with the rapeseed plant. Canola is a healthy oil that's low in saturated fat and a good source of mono- and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3s. The canola plant was developed from its close relation, the rapeseed plant, using traditional plant breeding methods. Canola oil differs from rapeseed oil which is used in Europe and Asia. Canola oil is extremely low in erucic acid. While erucic acid hasn't been shown to affect human health, it's been linked to cardiac abnormalities in research animals. The Food and Drug Administration deems canola oil safe in food. Where did it get it’s name? Canola (Canadian oilseed- low acid) is labeled for modified plant developed by Canadian scientists using traditional plant breeding methods to get rid of rapeseed’s undesirable qualities – erucic acid and glucosinolates. How should you use it? Canola oil has a light flavor, which makes it versatile in cooking. Replace solid fats like butter or margarine with canola oil when cooking or baking. Canola oil works well for sautéing and stir-frying. It also is good for coating pots, pans and your grill. Canola oil has highest smoke point oil is also an ideal choice for deep frying because it can be heated to a higher temperature (smoke point -450 °F). This results in lower oil retention in the fried foods All About Oils by Erin Sund The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics 12/12 http://www.eatright.org/public/slideshow.aspx?id=6442471506&terms=coconut%20oil#1 .

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.

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.

Review Monounsaturated Oils Do Not All Have the Same Effect on Plasma Cholesterol
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (1998) 52, 312±315 ß 1998 Stockton Press. All rights reserved 0954±3007/98 $12.00 http://www.stockton-press.co.uk/ejcn Review Monounsaturated oils do not all have the same effect on plasma cholesterol AS Truswell and N Choudhury Human Nutrition Unit, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia Evidence assembled here indicates that when olive oil forms a major part of dietary fat in controlled human experiments, total and LDL-cholesterols are somewhat higher than when the same amount of fat is one of the modern predominantly monounsaturated oils: low erucic rapeseed or high oleic sun¯ower oil. Oils rich in monounsaturated fatty acids thus do not all have the same effect on plasma cholesterol. This phenomenon is explicable by consideration of the content of other fatty acids and the non-saponi®able fractions of the different monounsaturated oils. It helps to explain the discrepancy that has existed between the classic experiments (using olive oil), which found monounsaturated oils `neutral', and some of the more recent experiments which found them more cholesterol-lowering than carbohydrates. Four published meta-analyses are reviewed. The three which included most of the published experiments show that monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) have less plasma cholesterol-lowering effect than polyunsaturated fatty acids. Descriptors: monounsaturated fatty acids; plasma cholesterol; LDL and HDL; olive oil; canola oil; high-oleic sun¯ower oil In the original human experiments on the effect of different (canola) and high-oleic sun¯ower and saf¯ower oils were fats and oils on plasma cholesterol (Ahrens et al, 1957; not then generally available.

Canola Is the New Margarine - Throw It All out By: S
Canola is The New Margarine - Throw It All Out By: S. D. Wells, Natural News Remember when margarine was the substitute for butter? Hey, I can't believe it's not butter! Wow. Margarine is a molecule away from being plastic, and we wonder why so many old folks in America have Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The plastic fat is clogging their brain veins. No oxygen to the brain means expensive 24/7 nursing care, lots of pharmaceutical medications and hundreds of thousands of dollars for sick care. Do you see where this is leading? America loves their canola! Who would really eat it if they knew that it was made with hexane vapor -- a gasoline constituent? Even organic canola that's "expeller-pressed" comes from something we're not even supposed to eat in the first place -- rapeseed. Canola is not a plant, or at least not until some mad scientists got a hold of rapeseed and altered it. Yes, I know, this is harsh for most people to address. Their canola oil food bar will be dead to them. Forget all those salads -- the potato salad, the chicken salad, the tuna salad and the egg salad. Forget the macaroni salad and the pasta salad, all creamy with chunks of other (GMO) food stuff. Canola is like sodium benzoate, as it chokes your cells, ruins your immunity and requires extra "processing" by your body just to filter out the toxic synthetic oil that comes from rapeseed, which Mother Nature never intended as food -- that's why it stinks.

Typical Fatty–Acid Compositions of Some Common Fats (Adapted from Gunstone, F
Typical Fatty–Acid Compositions of Some Common Fats (adapted from Gunstone, F. Fatty Acid and Lipid Chemistry; Blackie: London, 1996, and other sources) Specific compositions are variable, depending on diet and other factors. The symbol for an acid includes the total number of carbons and double bonds (e.g., 18:2), followed by the location of the start of the first double bond counting from the methyl end of the chain. (e.g., n-6, sometimes given as w6). The double bonds in the more common unsaturated fatty acids have a cis configuration, and are separated by a –CH2– group.

Fats – Saturated, Unsaturated, and Trans Fat
Post-Core:Fats – Saturated, Unsaturated, and Trans Fat What is Fat? Our body needs us to consume some fat in order towork properly. Fat comes from a variety of sources, including dairy, meats, nuts, and oils. It can also be found in many fried, baked, and pre-packaged foods. Fat is a major source of energy and helpsour bodiesabsorb vitamins. It is also important for proper growth, and for keeping us healthy. A completely fat-free diet would not be healthy, yet it is important that fat be consumed in moderation. It is important to keep in mind that fat has the most calories compared to any other nutrient. Controlling fat intake is one of the most important steps in losing or maintaining weight and preventing type 2 diabetes. How does fat affect my health? Since our bodies only need a certain amount of fat each day, any extra that we eat is stored in fat tissue and causes us to gain weight. Fat can also be healthy or unhealthy for our heart, depending on which kind we eat. What are the different types of fat, and which are healthy? There are four main types of fat: 1. Monounsaturated fat HEALTHY fats 2. Polyunsaturated fat 3. Saturated fat UNHEALTHY fats 4. Trans fat The goal is to try to choose more of the healthier fats, eat fewer unhealthy fats, and stay within your fat gram goal. National Diabetes Prevention Program: Post-Core 1 Post-Core:Fats – Saturated, Unsaturated, and Trans Fat Healthy Fats: Omega-3, Monounsaturated, and Polyunsaturated Omega-3 fats are an especially“heart healthy” fat and can help with lowering high triglyceride values in your blood.

Samples were from the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 production seasons and were used to fry potato chips for 36 to 48 cycles. Frying life was assessed by the total polar compounds, retention of tocopherols, antioxidant activity, and other quality indices. RCanO-II exhibited significantly, the longest frying life as compared with the other three oils and this correlated with tocopherol retention and antioxidant activity (p < 0.05).
