  fats and oils. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Animal fats are esters of saturated fatty acids; vegetable oils are esters of unsaturated fatty acids.
Fats are digested in the human body chiefly by the enzyme lipase (in the pancreatic juice) aided by the bile.
Medical research indicates the possibility that saturated fats in the diet contribute to the incidence of arteriosclerosis; such fats may raise the blood’s level of cholesterol, which is deposited in the arteries.

 Fats and Oils - Chapter 2
The properties of different fats and oils depend upon the characteristics of the triglycerids of which they are mixtures and upon the proportions of these triglycerids to one another.
Indeed, the fat from a given natural source, say a given species of animal or plant, may contain the same triglycerids in slightly different proportions, depending upon the conditions of the environment prevailing while the fat was being formed.
Fats and oils being mere mechanical mixtures of triglycerids, it is possible in many cases to separate them more or less completely into their component triglycerids by simple mechanical means, chilling and pressure.

All naturally occuring fats and oils are mixtures of long and short chain saturated fats and mixtures of mono and poly unsaturated fats of the Cis configuration.

 Fats & Oils
Flax oil was replaced by more stable oils, oils with less of the essential fatty acids in them and therefore, less chance of spoilage during transport and storage, but also, therefore, oils of inferior nutritional value.
We ended up with fats and oils which are the nutritional equivalent of the refined sugars in carbohydrate nutrition: demineralized, de-vitaminized, fiber-less, empty calories, which cannot be properly digested and metabolized, which rob the body of its stores of minerals and vitamins, which lead to fatty degeneration in all of its many forms.
All fats and oils are mixtures of triglycerides.

It adds new definitions for animal fats and vegetable oils and further differentiates between classes of oils by establishing new groups of oils termed Group A, B, and C, based on the specific gravity of animal fats and vegetable oils.
Subpart C describes the requirements for animal fats and oils and greases, and fish and marine mammal oils; and for vegetable oils, including oils from seeds, nuts, fruits, and kernels.

 Fats, Lipids and Oils - Elson M. Haas M.D. - HealthWorld Online
Fats are important in transporting other nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K—the “fat-soluble vitamins.” Fats are also an essential component of the cell membrane, and internal fatty tissues protect the vital organs from trauma and temperature change by providing padding and insulation.
Fats and oils are less dense than water; unless they are emulsified they rise and pool at the top of the gastric contents and so are acted upon last, thus taking the longest to digest and in some ways slowing the digestion.
When the fats move into the small intestine, their main place of digestion, bile is secreted from the gallbladder (bile is made by the liver and concentrated in the gallbladder).

 Fats and Oils
Omega-3 fats are retained better in tissues in the presence of saturated fats, and saturated fats promote healthy immune systems because of their antimicrobial properties that prevent the buildup of harmful microorganisms in the digestive tract.
Polunsaturated fats are mixed with a metal (nickel oxide) and subjected to hydrogen in a high-pressure, high-temperature reactor.
The best sources of omega-3 fats are cod liver oil (1 tspn per 50 lbs of body weight), fish oil capsules (containing 250 mg of DHA for children over 7 years old), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) supplements derived from algae (Neuromins).

 Food storage: Storing Fats and Oils
Since fat is both required for human health and an important part of our diets, we should include fat in our emergency preparedness plans--some combination of butter, margarine, vegetable oil, olive oil, and shortening.
Fats should be stored in cool or cold conditions-never in a warm pantry-in the dark, and sealed so that they are not exposed to air.
A saturated fat is a fat that has been saturated with hydrogen atoms, is stable and less prone to oxidation but the molecular composition of saturated fats is believed to raise serum cholesterol levels.

For dietary and nutrition purposes fats are generally classified as saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, which is a further refinement of the amount of saturation of the particular compositions of fatty acids in the fats.

 Fats and Oils - ToC
Yet the literature dealing with fats and oils is notably deficient in its economic and statistical aspects, largely because these materials are so diverse in origin and use and are yet to a high degree interchangeable.
A fairly intimate knowledge of the origins, manner of production, and technical uses of the several important classes of fats and oils is a prerequisite for study of their economic significance.
In no one place, however, does the information desirable for an understanding of the fat and oil trade as it affects agriculture and industry seem to have been collected in a form so simple as to be intelligible to those without technical training.
