applied to medicine and alchemy
15th century
spermaceti
began with the whaling industry started by the Basques in the Bay of Biscay in the fifteenth century
marine oil
peculiar waxy substance from the blubber AND ARE KNOWN TO be essential for signal transmission in whales
spermaceti
used to produce cattle fodder, dog food, vitamins, supplements, glue, leather preservatives, and brake fluids.
spermaceti
17th century
large scale production
first innovative process introduced on a large scale
saponification
first chemical reaction applied to fats and oils
saponification
reaction to produce soap
saponification
Industrialization of oils and fats began with the erection of a cottonseed mill in South Carolina
1826
1865
crude oil
France (1850)
caustic soda (NaOH) was introduced for the removal of free acids from oil
1855
Oleomargarine or the margarine industry begun
1893
Fuller’s earth
used to decolored oil
fuller’s earth
by blowing steam through oil at high temperatures
deodorized
oil color reversion can be avoided and the shelf life of oil products can be improved
decolored
improves both the flavor and odor under reduced pressures
deodorized
a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst
hydrogenation
revolutionized the entire oil and fat industry
hydrogenation
is a process which upgrades oils to produce fats
hydrogenation
important process for specialized pastry fats
hydogenation
tend to show up in your high-fat dishes, such as fried food, fast food, and processed baked goods
hydrogenated oil
largest
consumption of fats for chemical raw materials
making fatty acids
classification of oil and fats
edible and inedible
improves the color, flavor, and odor of the original crude
product as well as its keeping factor
hydrogenating process
are used in the medicinal field for their
vitamin content and in the paint industry as drying oils
fishliver oils
essentially unsaturated and produce films or coatings upon oxidation
drying oil
employed with synthetic resins and cellulose derivatives to give special types of films
drying oil
used almost
exclusively as a salad oil, with lower grades going into soap manufacture
corn oil
cleaned by screening and aspiration
cottonseeds
grown largely in the midwest, south texas, and the far west
linseen
Only oil of low free fatty acid content is employed for edible products, the rest (about 60 percent of the total receipts) being used for the production of soap and alcohols
coconut oil
produced by either the hydraulic press or the Anderson expeller,
from deskinned peanuts grown in the various southern states.
Peanut oil
is obtained from the fruit of the tung tree, which grows
extensively in China
tung or China wood oil
Large quantities of the oil are “sulfonated” to produce the familiar turkey-red oil long employed in dyeing cotton fabrics, particularly with alizarin
castor oil
finest grade of oil is reserved for medicinal purposes
castor oil
the fastest growing of the edible oils
safflower oil
(68%) of the polyunsaturated fatty acid, linoleic acid.
safflower oil
It grows largely in the low-rainfall states of the Great Plains, usually on land diverted from wheat.
safflower oil
usual processing of vegetable oils involves degumming and/or steam refining, adsorptive bleaching, hydrogenation, and deodorization
refining
is accomplished by the use of adsorptive bentonite clays for edible
oils, and alternatively by chemical reactions for nonedible ones
Bleaching
the conversion of various unsaturated radicals of fatty glycerides into more highly or completely saturated glycerides by the addition of hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst
Hydrogenation or hardening
- Objective is to raise the melting point and improve the keeping qualities, taste, and odor for many oils
Hydrogenation or hardening
catalyst used commercially is nickel
Hydrogenation or hardening
removes most of the odor-causing compounds and also destroys many of the color-producing pigments present
deodorization
is accomplished by blowing superheated steam through the
oil (if hydrogenated, while it is still hot and in the liquid stage) under a high vacuum of 138 to
800 Pa and 210 to 275°C.
deodorization
obtained from modern floating factory ships – catch, butcher, process the mammals at the scene of the catch
whale oil
used in the manufacture of lard substitutes and soapmaking
whale oil
Rich in vitamins A and D
cod-liver oil
produced cod liver oil by laying birch tree branches over a kettle of water, and fresh livers were laid over the branches.
ScandinavianVikings
is a process that uses a solvent and cold temperatures to separatelipidsand other desired oil compounds fromwaxes
winterization
oil refinement technique commonly used inbiotechnology
oil refinement technique commonly used inbiotechnology
winterization
oil obtained from the liver of Galeorhinus zyopterus contains more vitamin A and D than cod/halibut-liver oil
shark-liver oil
oil percentage for each fish
20%
is the only oil that will completely disperse in water.
Turkey red oil or Sulfated Castor Oil
any fat that is a solid at room temperature and used to make crumbly pastry and other food products.
shorting
the MOST important animal fats
lard
Produced by rendering hog fat
lard
extremely versatile fat
lard
doesn’t break down and oxidize to create harmful free radicals
lard
help lower blood cholesterol levels and maintain healthy cells.
lard
Fats and oils are constructed of building blocks called “________” resulting from the combination of one unit of glycerol and three units of fatty acids
triglycerides
process in which amolecule,polyatomic ionor molecular fragment is transformed into anisomerwith a differentchemical structure.
isomerization
unsaturated fatty acids can exist in either the cis or trans form
geometric isomerization
2 important isomerism of fatty acid
geometric and positional isomerization
the location of the double bond differs among the isomers
positional isomerization
Position of the double bonds affects the melting point of the fatty acid to a limited extent.
true
- secreted as protective coatings by certain insects.
Animal waxes
- found as coatings on leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds
Vegetable waxes
- paraffin waxes obtained from petroleum, and such waxes as are yielded by coal, peat and lignite
Mineral waxes
- from petroleum are not true waxes (esters) but are so classified because of their physical characteristics.
Mineral waxes
- best known wax
beeswax
obtained from carnauba palm (in Brazil)
carnauba wax
oil removed from head cavity & parts of the blubber of the sperm whale (in reality, a WAX – because of the chemical composition
spermaceti
naturally occurring mineral waxes
ozocerite
known commercially is a particular earth wax mined in eastern Europe
Ozocerite
concentrated in certain lubricating-oil fractions (result of distillation and separation by chilling and filter-pressing)
paraffin wax
3rd MOST IMPORTANT U.S. wax in tonnage
candelilla wax
made by boiling the stems of a common plant in Mexico and southwestern US with a water-sulfuric acid mixture and skimming off the wax which floats on the liquid
