|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gossypol | A phenolic pigment in cottonseed that is toxic to some animals. | (unspecified) |
| 2 | Grain | Seed from cereal plants. | AAFCO, 2000 |
| 3 | Green vegetable soybeans | Edamame (Japanese) Vegetable-type soybeans picked green and cooked until tender. Used as a confection or snack. Sold in the pods, shelled, canned or frozen. | (unspecified) |
| 4 | Grits | Coarsely ground grain from which the bran and germ have been removed, usually screened to uniform particle size. | AAFCO, 2000 |
| 5 | Gumming | Formation and accumulation of a fat-insoluble sticky material resulting from continued heating of fats and oils. The gummy material is produced by oxidation and polymerization of the fat and represents fat breakdown products which collect on heating surfaces. | (unspecified) |
| 6 | High-fat soy flour | Soy flour produced by adding soy oil, with or without the addition of lecithin, to defatted soy flour to a desired level, usually in the range of 10 to 20%. Also see "Soy flour." | (unspecified) |
| 7 | Hulls | Outer covering of grain or other seed. | AAFCO, 2000 |
| 8 | Hilum | A morphological feature of a seed coat; the point of attachment of the seed to the pod. | (unspecified) |
| 9 | Hydrogenated vegetable oil | During the process of hydrogenation, vegetable oil is exposed to hydrogen gas in the presence of heat and a catalyst (nickel or copper chromite) and the hydrogen combines with certain of the chemical components (unsaturated fatty acids) of the triglycerides with a resultant increase in the melting point of the oil; sometimes referred to as "hardening." | (unspecified) |
| 10 | Hydrogenization | The process of chemically adding hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to the unsaturated, "hydrogen short" portions of a natural fat. The addition of hydrogen reduces the reactivity of the fat toward oxygen and thus stabilizes and retards rancidity development in the fat. Hydrogenation usually raises the melting point of a fat or changes it from a liquid oil to a solid fat. | (unspecified) |
