Vegetable Oils

The Crisco brand now makes several product including oils and shortening. The original Crisco product in the can (shortening) was a fat that was hydrogenated to give it a cream/paste consistency that gave better results in baking. Hydrogenated fats are also called trans fats and health wise are now considered more unhealthy than saturated fats.

Crisco and other fats contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon in some combination so Crisco is not a hydrocarbon.

I know it as shortening, a fatty substance used in bakery products like cake.

The more 'oily' it is the more UNsaturated, more 'fatty' says more saturated. Maybe the manifacturers label gives more information than I can (don't know the brand).

Yes, that kind of thing is commonly used in kids.

Adults would probably have to take a lot of it and may be better served with fiber and natural stimulant laxative such as senna.

applesauce, pureed pumpkin, pureed prunes can be substituted. because baking needs to be exact, get some advice on how much to substitute in which recipe.

You can do this, or you also can actually also use pudding mix instead of oil. The cake will turn out dense and moist, substituting the purpose of the oil. Also closely resembling a cake made from scratch. But depending on the pudding type, it may change the flavor, so just be wise in what you use and it can turn out wonderful!

There are 1361 calories in one cup of Crisco. If you are baking and you want to cut the calories, use applesauce. There are only has 100 calories in one cup. So even if you only substitute half you will save yourself 680.5 calories. I just made banana nut bread and substituted the whole cup and it turned out good.

The term "vegetable oil" is generic--it encompasses all oils derived from plant sources, including olive oil. However, products labeled "vegetable oil" for cooking are typically blends containing canola, palm, soybean, sunflower, safflower, corn or cottonseed oils. Such vegetable oil blends typically have less flavor than olive oil, but they have a higher smoke point, so they are better for frying.

if it had the shell sooome of it might come off if it had no shell then it would be even more slipery if it had the shell some of it might come off if it had no shell then it would be even more slippery

The concept of pH is applicable only to aqueous solutions, it has no relevance to sunflower oil which is not soluble in water.

The average molecular weight of Palm oil varies from 810 to 855 grams per mole. Palm kernel oil is closer to 682 grams per mole (more stearic acid).

Yes, you can. Olive oil will affect the flavor of the muffins, so would be most successful in savory muffins - corn, cheese or spicy muffins with sage and thyme, or chopped onion and celery. For sweet muffins, I recommend canola oil because it has a neutral taste. But olive oil works for sweet muffins, too. It's used in several types of Italian cakes.

you can use melted butter or shortening, however if you use butter it may affect the texture a bit. you can use applesauce as well. many people that are following low or no fat diets use this as a substitute, because it helps to keep the cupcakes/brownies/cakes/what have you REALLY moist!

Animal fats are less expensive so most commercial manufacturers use them to save money and to make a harder bar of soap. Animal fats also have fewer skin benefits. Many handmade soap makers use solely vegetable oils to accomodate customers that are vegan.

It comes from a plant, not fossil residues like fuel oils. One recalls the Sinclair Dinosaur trademark!

one of the following foods that contain corn oil is popcorn! (also called palm oil)

No - the suffix "saccharide" applies to sugars (think "saccharin"), not fats.

300 g of oil = approximately 1.4 (US) cups

"Cooking oil" is actually a broad term for purified fat derived from plants which is normally liquid at room temperature. "Vegetable oil," when used to label a cooking oil product may refer to a specific oil like rapeseed oil or to a blend of different oils. Not all vegetable oils are edible - some are useful only as fuel oils. Not all cooking oils are vegetable oils - for example there are several nut oils and oils from gourds and melons that can be used in cooking. The non-vegetable cooking oils are seldom used in baking, so for the purposes of baking, the terms cooking oil and vegetable oil are pretty much interchangeable. Any recipe that calls for one can use the other interchangeably with the caveat that some oils are lower fat than others and some of them are more tolerant to heat than others. Olive oil can be substituted for cooking oil, but it changes the flavor a little bit.

Starch

yes

even the mass & volume will help .

Depends what you are doing with it, olive oil works great at making salad dressing, sauteing, frying eggs, and making some sauces. I have read that olive oil is not a good oil to deep fry with.

i dont know. repost if you do, ASAP please
