    Like animal fats, vegetable fats are mixtures of triglycerides. [1] Soybean oil, grape seed oil, and cocoa butter are examples of seed oils, or fats from seeds. Olive oil, palm oil, and rice bran oil are examples of fats from other parts of plants. In common usage, vegetable oil may refer exclusively to vegetable fats which are liquid at room ...

  3. Oleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleic_acid

    It is an odorless, colorless oil, although commercial samples may be yellowish due to the presence of impurities. In chemical terms, oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid , abbreviated with a lipid number of 18:1 cis -9, and a main product of Δ9-desaturase . [ 2 ]

  4. Acid value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_value

    V eq is the volume of titrant (ml) consumed by the crude oil sample and 1 ml of spiking solution at the equivalent point, b eq is the volume of titrant (ml) consumed by 1 ml of spiking solution at the equivalent point, 56.1 g/mol is the molecular weight of KOH, W oil is the mass of the sample in grams. The normality (N) of titrant is calculated as:

  5. Castor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castor_oil

    Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans, the seeds of the plant Ricinus communis. [1] The seeds are 40 to 60 percent oil. [2] It is a colourless or pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor. Its boiling point is 313 °C (595 °F) and its density is 0.961 g/cm 3. [3]

  6. Saponification value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification_value

    [1] [2] [3] It is a measure of the average molecular weight (or chain length) of all the fatty acids present in the sample in form of triglycerides. The higher the saponification value, the lower the fatty acids average length, the lighter the mean molecular weight of triglycerides and vice versa.

  8. Cooking oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_oil

    Cooking oil is typically a liquid at room temperature, although some oils that contain saturated fat, such as coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil are solid. [1] There are a wide variety of cooking oils from plant sources such as olive oil, palm oil, soybean oil, canola oil (rapeseed oil), corn oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil ...

  9. Hydrotreated vegetable oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrotreated_vegetable_oil

    The production of hydrotreated vegetable oils is based on introducing hydrogen molecules into the raw fat or oil molecule. This process is associated with the reduction of the carbon compound. When hydrogen is used to react with triglycerides, different types of reactions can occur, and different resultant products are combined. [1]
