"Hydrogenated Tallow AcidS" is a mixture of saturated fatty acids which are produced from animal fat by hydrolysis and then treated by hydrogen at high temerature and pressure in a presence of special catalists.
it is butter or margarine.
Tallow is beef fat, a trigylceride. Hydrogenation breaks the double bonds of a hydrocarbon, and replaces them with single carbon atoms. This process is known as "saturation" - you're saturating all the bonds with carbon. Generally, hydrogenated fats are solids, and less hydrogenated fats are liquids. Hydrogenation is sometimes called "hardening" the fats involved. Tallow, on the other hand, is pretty hard already. There aren't many bonds that aren't already saturated. Hydrogenated tallow would be a slightly stiffer fat than ordinary tallow.
Spectrum Organic Oils has a palm oil shortening that is solid, in a little tub. It is a viable replacement for tallow or solid hydrogenated cooking shortening for baking and cooking purposes. If you want to make soap or candles, and would use it to replace tallow, I don't know if it would work. You can experiment, or email the company and ask them.
No, stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid found in various animal and plant fats. It is not considered a trans fatty acid, which are mostly found in partially hydrogenated oils.
Trans fat
Trans fats are a type of fatty acid with an odd molecular shape that are created when oils are partly hydrogenated. They are known for their negative impact on heart health and are considered unhealthy.
You can get it from mutton tallow.
Because tallow contains more complex sugars that require an additional step before they can be further processed. :)
Tallow is a hard, fatty substance. The candles were made from animal tallow.
The Importance of hides and tallow is because of the food and the meat and the skin that was on and in the hides and tallow
Tallow GAA was created in 1887.
Ox-tallow is the fat of an ox. Ox-tallow was first used by the Ancient Egyptian's in their scented cones.
