Sentences with PALMITIN (5)
The three most common of these salts are olein, found in olive oil, palmitin, in palm oil and human fat, and stearin, in lard.
The hard fats, such as stearin, palmitin and margarin, are mostly of animal origin, tallow and lard, though coconut and palm oil contain a large proportion of such saturated compounds.
When tallow is saponified there is formed, from the palmitin, stearin, and olein contained, with the cauticizing agent--in this case, lime--a soap.
The formulas for the acids and the ethereal salts derived from each are as follows: HC_{18}H_{33}O_{2} (oleic acid) C_{8}H_{6}(C_{18}H_{33}O_{2})_{3}, (olein) HC_{16}H_{31}O_{2} (palmitic acid) C_{3}H_{5}(C_{16}H_{31}0_{2})_{3} (palmitin) HC_{18}H_{35}O_{2} (stearic acid) C_{3}H_{5}(C_{18}H_{35}O_{2})_{3} (stearin) Olein is a liquid and is the main constituent of liquid fats.
Stearin and palmitin are hard fats, crystalline in structure, and with a high melting point, while olein is a liquid.
