Triglyceride |
A technical term for a single, pure fully neutral fat. A chemical unit composed of the reaction product of one unit of glycerine with three units of fatty acid. A typical fat or oil will be a physical mixture of many different triglycerides. |

Ether soluble material extractable after complete reaction with strong alkali. |

Unsaturation |
A term descriptive of the carbon-hydrogen makeup of a material such as fat or oil. The term refers specifically to a shortage of hydrogen atoms in the oils structure. The less hydrogen, the greater the degree of unsaturation and the greater the reactivity with oxygen. Unsaturation in a fat or oil means easier formation of peroxides, easier development of rancidity and more tendency to polymerize. Highly unsaturated fats are usually oils and solid fats having lower unsaturation. |

Vanaspati (vegetable ghee) |
A 100% vegetable fat blend of palm oil and palm stearin formulated to act as a butter fat replacement for cooking. More granular in texture than regular butter or margarine. |

Wet-milled |
Steeped in water with or without sulfur dioxide to soften the kernel in order to facilitate the separation of the various component parts. |

Whole-pressed cottonseed, mechanical extracted |
Composed of sound, mature, clean, delinted and unhulled cottonseed, from which most of the oil has been removed by mechanical pressure. It must be designated as ground and sold by its crude protein content. |

Winterized oil |
Oil which has been treated in a manner to partially remove the saturated glycerides which have relative high melting points and are soluble only to a limited extent in the unsaturated glycerides. The process consists of chilling the oil slowly and then maintaining it at 5?C (41?F) for a specified period of time and removing the crystallized glycerides from the liquid fraction of the oil by the use of filter presses. Soy oil does not require winterizing unless it has been partially hydrogenated to increase stability. |
