Fat is a poor conductor of heat; therefore, it allows the heat that the animal produces to remain in their body for a longer period of time. [5] [6] Fat is also used by animals for the storage of energy. The type of fat that is used for energy storage is known as adipose tissue. [7]
Tallow consists mainly of triglycerides (fat), whose major constituents are derived from stearic and oleic acids. The solid material remaining after rendering is called cracklings, greaves, or graves. [1] It has been used mostly for animal food, such as dog food. [2] [3]
Rendering is a process that converts waste animal tissue into stable, usable materials. Rendering can refer to any processing of animal products into more useful materials, or, more narrowly, to the rendering of whole animal fatty tissue into purified fats like lard or tallow. Rendering can be carried out on an industrial, farm, or kitchen scale.
Suet is the raw, hard fat of beef, lamb or mutton found around the loins and kidneys. Suet has a melting point of between 45 and 50 °C (113 and 122 °F) and congelation between 37 and 40 °C (99 and 104 °F).
Its use in machining has declined since the mid-20th century as other specially engineered cutting fluids became prominent. However, it is still a viable option. Lard and other animal fats were formerly used as an anti-foaming agent in industrial fermentation processes such as brewing; there, animal fats have been superseded by polyethers. [52]
