  2. Retort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retort

    A process of heating oil shale to produce shale oil, oil shale gas, and spent shale is commonly called retorting. Airtight vessels to apply pressure as well as heat are called autoclaves . In the food industry , pressure cookers are often referred to as "retorts", meaning " canning retorts" for sterilization under high temperature (116–130 °C).

  3. Cooking oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_oil

    A bin for spent cooking oil in Austin, Texas, managed by a recycling company. Proper disposal of used cooking oil is an important waste-management concern. Oil can congeal in pipes, causing sanitary sewer overflow. [109] Because of this, cooking oil should never be dumped in the kitchen sink or in the toilet bowl.

  4. Edible oil refining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_oil_refining

    Edible oil refining is a set of processes or treatments necessary to turn vegetable raw oil into edible oil.. Raw vegetable oil, obtained from seeds by pressing, solvent extraction, contains free fatty acids and other components such as phospholipids, waxes, peroxides, aldehydes, and ketones, which contribute to undesirable flavor, odor, and appearance; [1] for these reasons, all the oil has ...

  5. Marangoni effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marangoni_effect

    To avoid spotting, an alcohol vapor (IPA) or other organic compound in gas, vapor, or aerosol form is blown through a nozzle over the wet wafer surface (or at the meniscus formed between the cleaning liquid and wafer as the wafer is lifted from an immersion bath), and the subsequent Marangoni effect causes a surface-tension gradient in the ...

  6. Dry distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_distillation

    Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids). The method may involve pyrolysis or thermolysis, or it may not (for instance, a simple mixture of ice and glass could be separated without breaking any chemical bonds, but organic matter contains a greater diversity of molecules, some of which are likely to break).

  7. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_cooking

    Pan frying is an oil based cooking technique which is typically used to sear larger cuts of meat or to fully cook thinner cuts. This technique uses a thin layer of heated oil to coat the pan. The oil layer is the method of heat transfer between the burner and the food. Water vapor is a critical component of how pan frying works.

  9. Smoke point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point

    The more FFA an oil contains, the quicker it will break down and start smoking. [2] [3] The lower the value of FFA, the higher the smoke point. [4] However, the FFA content typically represents less than 1% of the total oil and consequently renders smoke point a poor indicator of the capacity of a fat or oil to withstand heat. [4] [5] [6]
