Plant Oils and Their Uses - C1
Many plants produce useful oils
can be converted into consumer products
e.g. processed food
EMULSIONS
can be made and have a number of uses
oils don't dissolve in water
they can be used to produce EMULSIONS
= tiny droplets of oil suspended in water
thicker than oil or water
have many uses that depend on their special properties
provide better TEXTURE, COATING ABILITY and APPEARANCE
e.g. in salad dressings, ice creams, cosmetics and paints
emulsifiers have HYDROPHILIC and HYDROPHOBIC properties
EMULSIFIERS MAKE EMULSIONS STABLE
they have these properties:
HYDROPHILIC = water loving
HYDROPHOBIC = water hating
VEGETABLE OILS
can be hardened to make margarine
biodiesel produce from vegetable oils
important foods and fuels because they provide a lot of energy
higher boiling points than water
so can be used to cook foods at higher temperatures than boiling
produces quicker cooking and different flavours
increases energy that the food produces when eaten
some fruits, seeds and nuts are rich in oils
can be extracted
the plant material is crushed and the oil is removed by pressing
or, the oils is dissolved in a solvent e.g. hexane and the solvent is then distilled off leaving the oil behind
water and other impurities are removed
SATURATED and UNSATURATED OILS
UNSATURATED
contain CARBON-CARBON DOUBLE BONDS
they are sometimes called POLYUNSATURATED FATS
can be detected by REACTING with BROMINE WATER
BROMINE WATER TURNS FROM ORANGE-BROWN TO COLOURLESS WHEN IT REACTS WITH UNSATURED FATS
can be hardened to make them spreadable
by reacting them with HYDROGEN in the presence of a NICKEL CATALYST at about 60°c
HYDROGEN adds to the carbon-carbon double bonds
HYDROGENATED OILS have HIGHER MELTING POINTS
SOLIDS at ROOM TEMP
useful as spreads and in cakes and pastries
