Technology of Oil and
Fats
 Dr. Inam Ur Rahman
What are Fats and Oil
Oil and fats belongs to a group of organic compounds known as
lipids
Fats and Oil
 The main difference between fats and oils is that fats are
composed of high amounts of saturated fatty acids which
will take a solid form at room temperature whereas oils are
composed of mainly unsaturated fatty acids which will take a
liquid form at room temperature
Ester are basically Acids, (H containing substance), flavourings
and perfumes, and also used as a solvent in the industry
Structures of Fats and Oils
 Fats and oils are called triglycerides (or triacylcylgerols)
because they are esters composed of three fatty acid units
joined to glycerol, a trihydroxy alcohol
Structures of Fats and Oils
A triglyceride is called a fat if it is a solid at 25°C; it is called
an oil if it is a liquid at that temperature. These differences in
melting points reflect differences in the degree of unsaturation
and number of carbon atoms in the constituent fatty acids.
Triglycerides obtained from animal sources are usually solids,
while those of plant origin are generally oils. Therefore, we
commonly speak of animal fats and vegetable oils
Importance of fats and oils
 Prepared edible fats and oils which are sold in
pure state
 Oils and fats supply calories and essential fats
and help your body absorb fat-soluble
vitamins such as A, D, E and K. The type of fat
is just as important for health as the total
amount of fat consumed.
Sources of oil and fats
 Animal Fats
 Butter…. Cows milk
 Lard……. Pig
 Fish oil
 Vegetable oil etc.
•Saturated fats are mostly found in animal products such as butter,
cheese, whole milk, ice cream, lard and fatty meats. ...
•Unsaturated fats come from both animal and plant products. ...
•Trans fats are made when vegetable oils are processed
Productions of oil and fats
World production of fats and oils is led by Asia. Indonesia
is the world's largest producer, and accounts for more
than half of the global production of palm oil. China ranks
second in total world production of fats and oils in 2018, and
is a larger producer of soybean and canola oils
Pakistan Palm oil constitutes 80pc of Pakistan's imports and the rest is
soybean and olive oil. Around 75pc of palm oil is imported from Malaysia
and Indonesia, and soybean oil from the US and Brazil
Uses of fats and oils
. Food applications/uses
Consumed in butter, cooking oils
. Industrial uses
soaps, personal care products, biodiesel, paints, lubricants,
and greases.
Identification/Characteristics of
natural fats and oils
 1- physical properties
 2- chemical properties
Fats and oils are colorless, odorless, and tasteless
Chemical Properties
A number of chemical tests have been evolved
during the years of study of oils and fats which
are based on the partial determination of the
chemical composition of the oil or fat .
The Saponification number
is defined as the number of milligrams of
potassium hydroxide (KOH) or NaOH
required to saponify
g. of fat or oil.
1
Fats + Alkali = Glycerol and Soap
iodine number
is the number of grams of iodine or iodine
compounds absorbed by 100 g. of fat.
The Acetyl Value
is a measure of the amount of hydroxyl fatty
acids present in a fat .
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
By the use of the physical constants and the
chemical methods it is possible to
differentiate and identify natural oils and
fats .
Flavor changes in fats and oils
When fats and oils are stored they undergo
flavor changes which markedly influence
their market value.
Thank you
