What is the difference between white palm oil and red palm oil?
There is no white palm oil. Crude palm oil (CPO) is very rich in natural plant pigments called "carotenoids" giving the oil a distinct orange-red colour. After we refined CPO, all the carotenoids are removed and the refined oil is no longer orange-red but instead, golden-yellow. Red Palm Oil is special refine process which carotenoid still remaining in the oil.
Which compound contains more calories honey or corn oil?
Corn oil.
A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius from a standard initial temperature. In one table or corn oil there are 120 calories, as in honey there are only 60. Corn oil has more calories than honey because oil is a lipid unlike honey, which was indicated in the brown bag test for lipids. Gram for gram, lipids yield 6 times more energy than carbohydrates, so oil (lipid) will have more calories than honey (carbohydrate).

Why do plants produce vegetable oils?
Plants dont produce oils.
they are derivatives of fats and lipids essential for their survival.
human beings extract them for their benefit.
Vegetable fats and oils are lipid materials derived from plants. Physically, oils are liquid at room temperature, and fats are solid. Chemically, both fats and oils are composed of triglycerides, as contrasted with waxes which lack glycerin in their structure. Although many different parts of plants may yield oil, in commercial practice, oil is extracted primarily from seeds.

The expiration date is the last date on which the manufacturer is willing to guarantee that it is good. After that date, it may or may not be good (for that matter, it's possible for it to go bad BEFORE the expiration date, though this is not terribly likely).

Rapeseed oil is just another name for Canola oil, from the Canola or Rapeseed crop. It derives its name from a Latin word for turnip. It is also related to cabbage and mustard.
Canola oil is actually oil from two specific varieties of this plant. Canola is a shortened form of "Canadian oil, low acid." The acid content was why rapeseed oil wasn't in wide usage for cooking. However, when these varieties with low acid were discovered, it became a good alternative to other cooking oils.
No, IHOP usually uses vegetable oils or canola oil.
But always ask before eating at any resturaunt just to be safe.
What is the effect of heat on vegetable oil?
Upon heating, vegetable oil will first become less viscous (less thick and more runny) as it is heated, and eventually, if heated hot enough it will smoke and then burn.
Is palm oil saturated or unsaturated?
No oil is purely one or the other, they are all mixtures. Palm oil has about the same amount of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. Palm oil contains very little polyunsaturated fatty acids.
How much peanut oil can I consume before it affects my health?
Drinking pure peanut oil is just a bad idea. You'd probably feel very sick after consuming less than a cup of it straight.
If you have 400g of chocolate in a chocolate fountain how much vegetable oil do you need?
The questions is like asking, 'how long is a piece of string?' There are a number of factors to consider. The main factor being the actual chocolate itself. "Cheap" chocolate will not contain enough cocoa butter to make the fountain flow properly.
A good guide (but not necessairily accurate) is: the chocolate MUST have a minimum of 32% cocoa butter for it to even stand a chance of flowing. The higher the percentage the better (within reason!)
If you put a piece of chocolate in your hand, it is not the chocolate that is melting first, it is the cocoa butter inthe chocolate that is melting.
We would NEVER, EVER (even in a million years) suggest using vegetable oil in Chocolate. It will dilute the chocolate and leave the chocolate with a film of 'grease' on the top of the bowl. Why do it? Do you want to taste chocolate or vegeatble oil?
The BEST, and I do mean the best thing to use is Cocoa Butter. As professional chocolatiers as well as runnning a professional Chocolate Founain hire business for all types of events, we use cocoa butter by Callebaut (a large chocolate manufacturer) called 'Mycryo'. It is pure, 100% cocoa butter.
Making chocolate is a science and an art. For 400g as the question asks, I would suggest a table spoon or two of cocoa butter - it is not expensive. There are other considerations such as the ambient temperature the chocolate is in, the type of chocolate (white, dark, milk), the variety of chocolate and so on and so forth. An easy question to ask; we are asked this type of question just about everyday with people calling us at The Chocolate Fountain Guild, and relatively simple to answer!

How does vegetable oil dissolve gum?
It has to do with polar and non-polar atomic bonding in the molecules composing the gum and oil.
Water won't work because it's fairly polar, meaning the H2O molecule has a greater charge at one end. With polarity and non-polarity, like dissolves like.
Since oil is non-polar and has a neutral overall charge, it tends to dissolve the weaker molecular bonds formed between the gum and the hair.
