Included for each food is its weight in grams, its calories, and (also in grams,) the amount of protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, fat, and saturated fat. [1] As foods vary by brands and stores, the figures should only be considered estimates, with more exact figures often included on product labels.
Coconut oil (or coconut fat) is an edible oil derived from the kernels, meat, and milk of the coconut palm fruit. [1] Coconut oil is a white solid fat below around 25 °C (77 °F), and a clear thin liquid oil at higher temperatures.
In a 100 milliliter (ml) portion, coconut milk contains 230 kilocalories and is 68% water, 24% total fat, 6% carbohydrates, and 2% protein (table). The fat composition includes 21 grams of saturated fat, half of which is lauric acid (table).
Palm oil formed the basis of soap products, such as Lever Brothers' (now Unilever) "Sunlight", and B. J. Johnson Company's (now Colgate-Palmolive) "Palmolive," [8] and by around 1870, palm oil constituted the primary export of some West African countries. [9] In 1780, Carl Wilhelm Scheele demonstrated that fats were derived from glycerol.
