What is chemical formula of edible oil ?
Answers
The main components of edible fats and oils are triglycerides. The minor components include mono- and diglycerides, free fatty acids, phosphatides, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, tocopherols, pigments, waxes, and fatty alcohols. The free fatty acid content of crude oil varies widely based on the source. Other than the free fatty acids, crude vegetable oils contain approximately two percent of these minor components. Animal fats contain smaller amounts.
A. The Major Component - Triglycerides
A triglyceride consists of three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule. If all three fatty acids are identical, it is a simple triglyceride. The more common forms, however, are the "mixed" triglycerides in which two or three kinds of fatty acids are present in the molecule.
