Vegetable Oils

Margarine is produced by emulsification of skim milk into vegetable oil. It is done by adding monoglycerides and diglycerides (which are emulsifiers) to the mixture of oil and water. The mixture is then mixed very rapidly, and cooled at the same time. At the end, the vegetable oil will solidify partly and trap water molecules inside.

Olive oil CAN be used for frying, but you must have a HIGH quality, Virgin or Extra Virgin olive oil before attempting to cook with it. Various industry sources tend to place the Smoke Point of High Grade olive oil at around 400 degrees Fahrenheit and most frying is done somewhere UNDER 375 degrees, so this shouldn't be an issue.

There are two main methods of frying and the relative merits of each method as it pertains to Olive Oil is as follows:

1) Saute'/Pan Frying.

Pan frying requires a relatively small amount of oil and therefore is a rather economical method of frying food. Since E.V. olive oil tends to have a strong (but pleasant) flavor, this method works well with strong flavored foods such as onions, garlic, peppers, asparagus etc.

2) Deep Frying.

While it's COMPLETELY possible to deep fry in High Grade olive oil, it's Pure Lunacy to do so. Virgin and Extra Virgin olive oil tends to cost ( I'm guessing here... ) about 3-5 times as much as decent vegetable oil and in general, would leave battered and/or breaded foods with WAY TOO MUCH oil flavor. On the other hand, if neither of those characteristics is an issue for you, then...

You need the density of the oil (0.918 g/mL for olive oil) to do this. Using the factor-label conversion method:

35 lbs x 2.2 kg/1 lb x 1000g/1 kg x 1 mL/0.918g x 1 L/1000 mL x 0.264 gal/1 L = 22.14 gallons

No, they have almost nothing in common. You can use many different vegetable oils instead of corn oil, sunflower oil for example. If you don't have light corn syrup, substitute 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. If a recipe calls for dark corn syrup, use 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup water.

A drum of soybean oil has different costs in different geographical locations. There are places whereby it costs about $4.50 per gallon whereas there are areas whereby it costs $155 per barrel.

Oils doesn't contain gluten.

Most kitchens have a 1/3 measuring cup, but if you don't, there are 16 Tablespoons or 48 Teaspoons in a cup, so 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon would work.

The type of cultivar of olive you are growing will determine how long it takes for the olive to bear fruit. The Arbequina and Koroneiki cultivars bear fruit after approximately 3 years, while other cultivars often do not bear fruit until they are 5 to 12 years old.

because it makes our foods taste good cam cooking

Vegetable oil is safe to consume but in large quantities it can make you sick and cause nausea and vomitting

I personally substitute vegetable oil with canola oil. It is low in saturated fat and healthier for you. Some canola oils also contain omega 3, which many doctors recommend to their patients.

*** Any other oil, corn, canola , olive , can be used as a substitute.( Even melted margarine or butter with limits) . Its mostly the flavor the fat brings to the dish or recipe that will be the difference. I'm over simplifying , but with out more info as to what you are preparing .. that's about it.

Another good substitute for vegetable oil is apple sauce. It is healthier, but it does surprisingly taste very good and as it would with the oil. We didn't have any types of oil, and I found that apple sauce answer on yahoo answers. Cool! (:

Enjoy...

Soybean oil is a vegetable-derived polyunsaturated fat. Fats are oils produced either by animals or plants. Examples of animal fats: butter, cream, lard. Examples of other vegetable or plant-derived fats/oils: Olive oil, peanut oil, palm oil, corn oil, margerine, and coconut oil.

Carbohydrates are found in starchy foods, fruits, vegetables, and sugar. Examples of carbohydrates are beans, breads, potatoes, cake, oranges, apples, peas, squash.

Another component of foods that our bodies require are proteins. Proteins are found in meats, fish, cheese and other dairy products, wheat, and combinations of specific foods when eaten at the same time, such as pasta or rice with beans. These combinations create 'complete' proteins which are also those found in fish, meat and dairy.

Yes you can :) A good oil to use is canola because it's virtually taste-less. Olive oil is fine but may give your dessert a slightly olive-y taste. I love using coconut oil because it most resembles butter (solid at room temperature) and I love the subtle creamy/ coconutty flavor it has.

It depends on the proportions and which of the liquids you need at the end. The likelihood is that the alcohol will have emulsified the oil and water so the starting material will have no layers. The method often used to separate mixtures of liquids is fractional distillation, though it's not possible to produce completely pure alcohol by this method. If you don't need the water you can first remove it with a drying agent.

You can replace it with other types of oil (corn, grapeseed, olive, ect.) or use applesauce instead.

It worked for me about 10 years ago. I researched lice life cycle and used treatment length appropriate, including a little extra for any little critters possibly hiding. I applied the crisco on my entire head and hair. Watched a couple of TV programs and then combed crisco out of my hair removing as much as possible. Then I shampooed. Did this daily. Combing out first treatment resulted in finding 26 lice and up to that point didn't even know I had them. When I first discovered one, I began treatment immediately. BTW Used generic vegetable shortening. Hope this helps

Yes, a small amount

Is it an expiration date of a best before date? Best before dates have BB next to them usually.

If it's a best before date, then it's fne and dandy, but if it's an expiration date then probably not good.

I checked their nutrition guide and their list of ingredients of their foods, they use vegetable oils in their products.

Off the shelf vegetable oil is usually made up of several separate oil compounds and thus it is a homogeneous mixture.

However, if it was a chemically pure oil containing just one oil compound it would not be a homogeneous mixture.

The flash point is the temperature at which a liquid gives off an ignitable vapor. It is NOT the smoke point, nor the ignition point. Unrefined peanut oil has a smoke point (temperature at which it begins to break down, give off smoke) of 320 degrees Fahrenheit, while refined peanut oil has a smoke point of 448 degrees Fahrenheit. The ignition point of both oils is 700 degrees Fahrenheit, and the flash point 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

Any edible vegetable oil will do depending on your taste. Olive oil is commonly used.

Vegetable oil usually is made from the seeds of a vegetable because that is the part that contains the most oil substance. Oil holds twice as much energy as carbohydrates. The oil is obtained by mechanical, machinery and/or chemical means.

To make it into fat (solid at room temperature) the oil needs to be processed in a way.
