Olive oil does not have a specific melting point like solid fats, but it typically begins to solidify at temperatures around 0°C to 10°C (32°F to 50°F), depending on its composition and purity. The higher the level of monounsaturated fats, the lower the temperature at which it may begin to solidify. When stored in cooler conditions, olive oil can appear cloudy or develop sediment, but it will return to a liquid state when warmed.
Coconut oil has a higher melting point compared to other oils because it is high in saturated fats, particularly lauric acid. Saturated fats have a more tightly packed molecular structure, which increases the melting point of the oil. This is why coconut oil is solid at room temperature.
Yes, the melting point of unsaturated fats and oils is increased by catalytic hydrogenation. This process involves the addition of hydrogen to the carbon-carbon double bonds in unsaturated fats, converting them into saturated fats. As a result, the structure becomes more solid and crystalline, leading to higher melting points compared to their original unsaturated forms.
True. Saturated fats have a higher melting point and tend to be solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats have a lower melting point and are typically liquid oils at room temperature.
There is no such element as this is physically possible. The liquid state is only achieved when the temperature has reached the melting point of the material. And, the melting point is, by definition, at a higher temperature than the freezing point. However, there are substances that are liquids in cold temperatures (many oils) as well as substances that are solids in warm temperatures (most metals); but this does not mean that the oils do not freeze and the metals do not melt.
Olive oil is a liquid at room temperature.
Different oils melt at different temperatures.
Clear or light olive oil can be used the same way any other cooking oils can be used. Extra virgin , virgin and pomace olive oils cannot as they change flavor, taste, color and textures; and have lower smoke point temperatures than other oils.
the Melting point depends on different types of Crude oil.. Crude oils are of different types ..so there is no specific Boiling point

Melting point s can be "sharp" where the phase change occurs at a particular temperature, or the solid may soften and then melt over a range of temperatures. Conventionally melting point refers to the sharp melting point, and this is exhibited by pure chemical compounds that do not decompose. Slip melting point usually refers to a technique for measuring the point at which a waxy solid "slips" in a tube -waxy solids such as hydrocarbons produced from petroleum oil are mixture and melt over a range and this is near reproducible way of obtaining a diagnostic single "melt" temperature for the mixture.
Frying with olive oil is generally safe, but it has a lower smoke point compared to other oils, which can lead to the formation of harmful compounds at high temperatures. It's best to use olive oil for low to medium heat cooking and opt for oils with higher smoke points for frying at high temperatures.

yes
When oils undergo hydrogenation, they become more solid and have a higher melting point. This process changes their chemical structure by adding hydrogen atoms, making them more saturated.
True. Saturated fats have a higher melting point and tend to be solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats have a lower melting point and are typically liquid oils at room temperature.
Yes, you can use olive oil for popping popcorn, but it may not be the best choice due to its lower smoke point compared to other oils like canola or coconut oil.
