PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SATURATED AND UNSATURATED FATS

Abstract

The process of transesterification allows obtaining fatty systems with a minimum content of trans fatty acids, since this process does not affect the formation of double bond isomers of unsaturated fatty acids. The process of transesterification allows to add physiologically valuable amount of linoleic acid to the oil base. Per-esterification allows obtaining new types of fatty products with desired properties and allows regulating the content of highly soluble fatty acids in oils. Peretherification lowers the melting point of oil or mixture of oils, increases their plasticity and stability against oxidation in atmospheric oxygen.
