Edible oil is plant, animal, or synthetic fat used in frying, baking, and other types of cooking. It is also used in food preparation and flavouring that doesn 't involve heat, such as salad dressings and bread dips etc.
Cooking oil is typically a liquid, although some oils that contain saturated fat, such as coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil, are solid at room temperature.
Types of edible oil include: olive oil, palm oil, soybean oil, canola oil (rapeseed oil), pumpkin seed oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, grape seed oil, sesame oil, argan oil, rice bran oil and other vegetable oils.
Oil can be flavored with aromatic foodstuffs such as herbs, chillies or garlic.
Edible Fats are usually used to refer to fats that are solids at normal room temperature.
Examples of edible animal fats are lard, fish oil, butter/ghee and whale blubber. They are obtained from fats in the milk and meat, as well as from under the skin, of an animal. Examples of edible plant fats include peanut, soya bean, sunflower, sesame, coconut and olive oils, and cocoa butter. Vegetable shortening, used mainly for baking, and margarine, used in baking and as a spread, can be derived from the above oils by hydrogenation.
Many vegetable oils are consumed directly, or indirectly as ingredients in food – a role that they share with some animal fats, including butter and ghee. The oils serve a number of purposes in this role:





Shortening – to give pastry a crumbly texture.
Texture – oils can serve to make other ingredients stick together less.
Flavor – while less- flavorful oils command premium prices[citation needed], some oils, such as olive, sesame, or almond oil, may be chosen specifically for the flavor they impart.
Flavor base – oils can also "carry"

    Bad fats are saturated and trans fats. Saturated fats are mostly in meats, dairy products and tropical oils. Saturated fat raises both bad cholesterol and good cholesterol, while trans-fat only raises bad cholesterol. This makes trans fats technically worse than saturated fats. The better fats would be monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated will lower your cholesterol, and unlike polyunsaturated they do not lower your good cholesterol. Your best fats would be the omega-3s (fish oil). This fat has shown to protect people from sudden cardiac death (Schardt,2002).…

    Saturated fats are defined as fats that contain triglycerides that contain only saturated fatty acids. They can be found in foods that contain cheese, lard, or butter. Unsaturated fats are fat acids that contain double bonded chemicals that eliminate hydrogen atoms. Trans – fatty acids are usually found in man made products. They are created in an industrial process that’s adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them solid. This type of fat can be found in most fast food products. Hydrogenated fats are found in margarine and vegetable shortenings. They are created by the forcing of hydrogen into liquid oil. They are mostly used in processed foods such as baked goods.…

    According to “Face the Fats” (2013), the unhealthy fats are, saturated and trans fats, tend to be more solid at room temperature (like a stick of butter). The healthy fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and they tend to be more liquid (like liquid vegetable oil). Saturated fat is found mostly in foods from animals and some plants. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are found mainly in many fish, nuts, seeds and oils from plants. Some examples of foods that contain these fats include salmon, trout, herring, avocados, olives, walnuts and liquid vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, safflower, canola, olive and sunflower. Both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats may help lower your blood cholesterol level when you use them in place of saturated and trans fats, Face the Fats (2013).…

    Saturated fats occur naturally in many foods. The majority we eat come mainly from animal sources, meat and dairy (milk fat) such as fatty beef, lamb, pork, poultry with skin, beef fat (tallow), lard and cream, butter, cheese, and other dairy products made from whole or reduced-fat (2%) milk. These foods also contain cholesterol. These are often overlooked because most people do not know what to look for when they are on a diet. Another problem is when they overlook another harsh fat, Trans fat. Trans fat is also known as partially hydrogenated oils. Trans fats are often found in deep fried foods like French fries and are often invisible on a menu. These oils are bad for the heart and need to be limited as much as possible. Trans-fatty acids or simply trans-fats, describes the type of oil partially hydrogenated for industrial food processing purposes. The production of trans-fats involves the addition of hydrogen atoms to vegetable oils to make them more solid and stable in appearance. According to the American Heart Association, companies and food manufacturers favor the use of trans-fats in their processed foods because trans-fats offer easy usability, inexpensive fat production and longer shelf life compared to other oil products. Furthermore, trans-fats gives a desirable texture and taste to foods, making them a more favorable option for most chefs and bakers.…

    We're used to hearing about saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids - which come from animal fats (meat, lard, dairy products) as well as tropical oils such as coconut and palm oils - raise the levels of LDL cholesterol. Unsaturated fats - which come from vegetable oils - in general, do not increase cholesterol levels, and may reduce them.…

    "But this doesn't apply to coconut oil" say supporters, they believe half the saturated fat in the old is medium-chain fatty acids which are more easier digest than the more prevalent long-chain fatty acids in other oils, including butter. While the scientific community doesn't disagree, it urges caution. "I don't think any health professional including myself is going to tell you to increase the level of saturated fat in your diet", “like the flavor or what it does to food," it's fine to use in limited amounts, says by Len Piche a nutritional scientist. Len Piche also says that he not so sure that the nutrient profile of saturated fat in coconut oil is all that bad necessary because some of them are shorter-chain fatty acids and aren't implicated in some of the chronic diseases. He also concludes that people would be wise to think of using more than one kind of cooking oil. This author also gave evidence of Jackie the owner of Canadian coconut oil distributor always using coconut oil to cook. Another evidence of using coconut oil distributor Sarginson says "no such thing".…

    During the past decade, almost all of the energy studies were on important alternatives such as oil, coal, solar, nuclear, etc. It is for this reason that environmentalists are entrusted to examine a very wide range of human needs towards indigenous resources that would ‘somehow assist in our nation’s falling supply of energy. Various organic oils and fats are essential constituents of all forms of plants and animals. However, only relatively few plants and animals produce fats and oils in sufficient quantity. The most important oil, therefore, are those that can be readily attained in commercial quantities from available raw materials. Organic oils are triglycerides or esters of fatty acids. They are chemical combinations of one molecule of glycerol with three molecules of fatty acids. When processed with caustic alkalis, they form soaps that are salts of fatty acids and glycerol, which is tryhydric alcohol. Yellow bell is a shrub with small, elongated branches and narrow alternate leaves. The plant requires direct sunlight. Quisumbing (1978) mentioned, that the the vetin seeds yield a fixed oil that contains triolein (63 percent), tripalmitin and stearin (37 percent).…
