GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
Commercial
fats produced by organic processes in plants are palm, coconut, palm kernel,
sunflower, soybean, and other oils. Their main components are triolein and
triglyceryl esters of stearic (C18), palmitic (C16), myristic(C14), lauric
(C12), oleic (C18:1), and other fatty acids. Tallow is a refined hard fat extracted from fatty deposits of animals,
especially from suet (fatty tissues around the kidneys of cattle and sheep). The molecules of most natural fatty
acids have an even number of carbon chains due to the linkage together by ester
units. Analogous compounds of odd numbers carbon chain fatty acids can be made synthetically. All fats are insoluble in water and have
lighter weight than water. Industrial fats can be sub-classified as fat, grease
or oil depending on melting point. Fats that are liquid at room temperature are
referred to oil. Grease has a higher initial viscosity than oil. It is used as a
lubricant. The organic processes to convert fats to fatty acids (or esters)
and glycerol is called oleochemistry. Fatty acids and glycerol are produced by
hydrolysis (addition reaction of water molecule with cleavage of parent molecules)
of the triglycerides. Fatty esters are produced by
esterification reaction. Coconut or palm oils are better source to get saturated
fatty acids than sunflower, soybean or rapeseed oils which have more
unsaturated fatty acids composition of triglycerides. Tall oil is a source of
low boiling point fatty acids. Generally, commercial coconut fatty acid has carbon chain
composition of; C10 (5% max) + C12 (45 - 55%) + C14 (20 - 25%) + C16 (10 - 15 %)
+ C18 (10 - 15% max, including unsaturated fatty acids). Fats are used to
make soap, food products, cosmetics, and candles, and lubricants. They are
wisely used in producing synthetic surfactants. |
