  • What are vegetable oils & fats?
  • The plant-based or vegetable oils and fats dominate in current food applications and will be the main focus of this chapter. The supply chains of vegetable oils and fats consist of: The growing and harvesting of the oil crop. Oil extraction to recover the oil; the by-product meal is mostly used as animal feed.
  • What are the three main sources of vegetable oil & fats?
  • The main origins of the world vegetable oil and fats supply fall into three main categories: 1. Annually planted oilseed crops like soybean, rapeseed, and sunflower seed. 2. Fruit oils like palm and olive oil. 3. Kernel oils like palm kernel oil, coconut, and other nut oils.
  • How are fats and oils produced from vegetable sources?
  • This chapter discusses the production of fats and oils from vegetable sources. In the process of extraction of vegetable oils, pulp oils are produced close to the production location of the oil fruit. As a pre-treatment, palm fruit is cooked and the fruit is then separated from the bunch stalk; olives are only crushed.
  • What fatty acids are found in vegetable oil?
  • Vegetable oils are obtained from plants, such as seeds, nuts, fruits, and vegetables, and are the major source of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in the diet. Three of them are rich sources of saturated fatty acids: coconut oil, cocoa oil, and palm oil.
  • What is the energy contribution of fatty acid groups of vegetable oils?
  • Determination of Energy Contribution of Fatty Acid Groups of Vegetable Oils Amounts of fatty acid contents (mg/g) were converted to energy values using the conversion factor of 37.7 kJ/g for fat and fatty acids, because of the evaluation of energy E (kJ/g oils) derived from SFAs, MUFAs, PUFAs, n-3 and n-6 PUFAs of analyzed vegetable oils .
