Why Palm oil and coconut oil are more like animal fats than are other plant oils?
All oils can be split into 3 fatty acids and glycerin and all oils contain a mixture of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. As a rule-of-thumb, oils from animals are mainly saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Plant oils are primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Coconut oil has the highest percentage of saturated fats of all the oils. It contains 87% saturated (SAT), 6% monounsaturated (MUFA), and 2% polyunsaturated (PUFA). Palm oil is 36% SAT, 49% MUFA, and 14% PUFA. Beef fat is 50% SAT, 42% MUFA, and 4% PUFA. Butter is 63% SAT, 26% MUFA, and 4% PUFA. Pork fat is 39% SAT, 45% MUFA, and 11% PUFA. Olive oil is 14% SAT, 72% MUFA, and 10% PUFA. Vegetable oils have a much higher percentage of PUFA. For example, corn oil has 13% SAT, 28% MUFA, and 55% PUFA. Flaxseed oil is 9% SAT, 20% MUFA, and 66% PUFA.
What is a mufa?
Attracting cows!
What has the author Mufa Chen written?
Mufa Chen has written: 'From Markov chains to non-equilibrium particle systems'
What are PUFA's?
PolyUnsaturated Fatty AcidS
Is it true that winter happens because there are more clouds to block the sun?
No, It's because a PUFA, occers. Refer to PUFA for more details.
Heavy whipped cream evaporated milk or reconsituted non fat milk solds results in foaming large volume?
primarily water (87%) -ph 6.6-4.8% carbs (lactose)-complete protein (casein and whey)-fat- sat, mufa, and pufa-->for flavor, texture and stability-emulsifiers, foaming and gelling agents-improve texture, mouth feel, moisture retention and flavor
Which vitamin protects PUFA in the cell from free radical attack?
Vitamin E.
Fatty acids with room for four or more hydrogen atoms?
A monounsaturated fatty acid or MUFA
How much energy do fats contain?
Each gram of fat has 9 Calories. Compare this with 4 Calories per gram of carbohydrate or protein. So it is clear that fats of all types including saturated, PUFA, MUFA, cholesterol, trans-fat are very high in energy (more than twice as much as in carbs). They are called calorie dense. To lose weight you should choose food low in fat and trans-fat. Better avoid trans-fat, fried and baked food. Eat natural fat: peanuts, almonds, cashew etc.
Are saturated fatty acid good for the body?
No, unsaturated fatty acids are good for body. (PUFA is every better, poly unsaturated fatty acids)
How many MUFA's in sunflower seeds?
Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) have one double bond in the fatty acid chain and the remaining carbon atoms are single bonded.A 3.5 ounce serving of linoleic sunflower seed kernels contains the following:Fat: 51.46gSaturated fat: 4.455gMonounsaturated fat: 18.52 gramsPolyunsaturated fat: 23.13However, please keep in mind that there are 3 commercially used types of seeds, each with its own slightly different levels of fat -Linoleic (most common)High oleicNuSun
What is single cell oils?
Single cell oils (SCO) are the edible oils extracted from micro-organisms-the single-celled entities that are at the bottom of the food chain.The best producers with the highest oil contents are various species of yeasts and fungi with several key algae that are also able to produce high levels of nutritionally important PUFA. Their potential to produce PUFA has now galvanized the current interest in these SCO as oils rich in highly desirable fatty acids essential for our well being and not readily available either from plants or animals
