Edible Fats and Oils

  • Chapter
Food Chemistry

Abstract

Most fats and oils consist of triacylglycerides (recently also denoted as triacylglycerols; cf. 3.3.1) which differ in their fatty acid compositions to a certain extent. Other constituents which make up less than 3% of fats and oils are the unsaponifiable fraction (cf. 3.8) and a number of acyl lipids; e.g., traces of free fatty acids, mono- and diacylglycerols.

Butter is dealt with in Chapter 10.2.3.
