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
Many edible seeds are used in oil production.The most commonly eaten seeds used also for oil are sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin. Corn (maize) is also technically a seed, and is used for oil. Some other seed oils are grape seed, safflower, and rapeseed (canola).
Oils are not amine acids. Oils do not have NH2 and COOH groups in their structure.
No, due to two reasons 1- edible oils are not soluble in methanol,2- methanol is a poisoness liquid.
viscosity. very viscose oils are considered "heavy", oils of low viscosity are considered "light". Oils with little sulfur are considered "sweet", oils with lots of sulfur are considered "sour". The most valuable crude oil is "light sweet".
You are essentially answering your own answer within your own question. Vegetable oils and other food oils are edible oils. The other oils that cannot be eaten can be grouped into this other major category called non edible oils such as engine oils, etc.
Essential oils derived from edible foods are also edible. They may be too strong in flavor or irritating to your mouth (such as oils from hot peppers).

It depends on the oil and it's use. all oils can be measured in fluid ounces, gallons, quarts or liters Fuel oil is measured in barrels (42 gallons), or bunkers 5100 barrels lubricating oils can be measured in drums (55 gallons) and some heavy lubricating oils and greases are measured by weight
Animal fats tend to go rancid with time. Vegetable oils will too eventually, but have a longer shelf life.
This category covers establishments primarily involved in manufacturing shortening, table oils, margarine, and other edible fats and oils that are not elsewhere classified
Polymerization - oxidation, oils which are designed to, e.g. linseed oil or having double bonds like many edible oils

The fruit is edible when ripe. Palatable but not particularly tasty. Theoretically similar to avocado when perfect. The Nuts are edible when roasted and the native Californians made a paste which has been likened to chocolate with the stimulating effect and much of the flavor of coffee. The volatile oils in the fruit make it unpalatable when unripe. These same oils are present in the nut which must be roasted to make the nut edible.
