Umm...  It comes from corn, buddy.  Yes it's edible.  It's what many restaurants use for frying.  You can buy it at the grocery store.

it`s new........like any other new THING these foods may be better than normal ones.......may be worse..it needs time to be proven.\ni my self wouldn`t try them coz i can have any thing i want in normal and organic food market.

Check out www.fundingdocuments.com  They did some nice research on my import/export corn oil business plan.  Good company.

Well up until this point it wasn't much of a problem. As populations grow so does the demand and although there is technology out there and the knowledge of conservation very few folks want to do much about it. The other side of that coin is this. All these other countries trade grain and other commodities we make for there oil and without the oil we would have no need for them and that scares them to death. they would have nothing to trade. If we stopped tomorrow buying foreign oil the price of oil would plummet. We get around 31 percent of our oil from the middle east and south America. the rest we get here and off shore wells and from Canada which gives us a huge chunk of it. The United States feeds the world when it comes to grain with the exception of rice. If we didn't need the other countries oil they would go broke and starve. That's why we are so worried about them and they us.\nAnd in case you are wondering we produce 51 percent of our own oil.

Neither.  As a chemist who spent 30 years in the fat and oil industry I've seen this battle from all aspects.  Butter is undesirable because it contains many fatty acids that are foreign to the human body.  research has shown that butter contains over 200 fatty acids, including trans fatty acids that arise in the rumen of the cow from bacterial action.  Most margarines are made from partially hydrogenated soybean oil.  This source has come under severe scrutiny because of its trans acid content and also due to the fact it raises serum cholesterol levels.\n\nThe only safe margarines are the recently introduced ones that contain no partially hydrogenated oils.

Oil is not necessarily fat-laden.

Coconut oil consists mostly of long chain organic acids (lauric, myristic, and palmitic, all of which are 12 carbons or longer).  The interaction between those acids and alcohols (presuming methanol and ethanol) is not going to be strong, as those long chains cannot hydrogen bond.\n\nTherefore the two usually aren't miscible.  Coconut oil would be more soluble in more non-polar solvents like hydrocarbons or ketones.

Don't know, but can't be worth it - you'll end up with elevated cholesterol and clogged arteries.  Coconut oil is saturated fat, among the worst.

Partially hydrogenated oil contains some trans fats.  The hydrogenation of oils will produce some trans fats.\n\nYou have a sharp eye.  The new FDA regulations are a bit 'phony' because if the level of trans fats is less than half a gram, they can say on the label "No trans fats".  You found a way to detect this 'lie'.  Congrats!

Here is a copy of an article on Coconut Oil - as per being from Kerala - india - no idea.\n_______________________________________________\nCooking with Coconut Oil!\n\nAnytime you cook a food you run the risk of creating heat-induced damage.  What if you could cook you food in an oil that not only resisted heat damage, but helped you loose weight, prevent heart disease, and lower cholesterol?  Would you choose this oil?\n\nIf you said yes, then you'll want to get some coconut oil today.  Of all the available oils, coconut oil th the oil of chice for cooking becaus it is nearly a completely saturated fat, which means it is much less susceptible to damage when it is heated.\n\nAlthough mainstream media portrays olive oil as the healthiest oil, this title does not extend to cooking.  Olive oil is primarily a monosaturated fat.  This means that it has one double bond in its fatty acid structure.  Although a monounsaturated fat is inherently more stable than a polyunsaturated fat, the over abundance of oleic acid in olive oil creates an imbalance on the cellular level, which has been associated to an increased risk of breast cancer and heart disease.  Olive oil is a healthy fat to include in your diet in a non-heated from, however.\n\nPolyunsaturated oils, which include vegetable oils like corn, soy, safflower, and conola, are the worst oils to cook with because of the trans-fatty acids introduces during the hydrogenation process, which results in increased dangers of chroinic diseases such as breast cancer and heart disease.\n\nCoconut oil contains the most satureated fat of all edible oils.  Don't be sacared away by the negative view of "saturated fat" portrayed by the meida.  Many studies have shown that a low-fat diet is not the answer for preventing heart disease, and some scientist are calling for new dietary guidelines that reflect this discovery.  \n\nSo anytime you need an oil to cook with, coconut oil can automatically be used in place of butter, margarine, olive oil or any other type of oil in all types of recipes.  However, coconut oil can vary widely in terms of the types of cocunuts used, the manufacturing processes used to make the oil, and more, and all of these factors play a major role in the effectiveness of the oil.\n\nMost commercial conconut oils are refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) and contain chemicals used in processing.  As a general rule it is advised to find a virgin cocnut oil that is organic and not highly processed or refined.  Tropical Traditions in the United States fits this profile, as do many of those from rural regions of the Philippines.\n\nI urge you to try virgin coconut oil for all of your cooking oil needs and experience the health benefits and great taste for yourself.

Yes, but it is not a good idea. Stick to vegetable matter. The animal fat will cost more to render into usable fuel than anything else. Cooking grease and lard from bakeries and restaurants is used for fuel, again, heating fuel needs to burn a little cleaner than industrial applications. There is also the question of particulates in the oil clogging your burner and bacteria propagation.

cooking oil always worked for me!!!

There's very little science involved - it's mostly economics.\n\nThe science:  Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature.  They are easier to use in food manufacturing operations.\n\nThe economics:  Saturated fats give a better texture and taste to foods than non-saturated fats.  Saturated fats also have a much longer shelf life.  Products made from these fats taste better and last longer, so that's what the consumer is going to buy, whether it's better for their health or not.\n\nEconomically, food companies need to make what people will buy, so the continued use of saturated fats is a no-brainer from their perspective.

The energy contained in corn is in the form of stored chemical energy (in the form of hydrocarbons), that was created by solar energy and photosynthesis of the corn plant. \n\nThe seeds of corn can be made into sugar, food, ethanol, or even burnt alone as fuel. Each of these products contains hydrocarbons that contain chemical energy that can be converted to heat energy. Some new work is being done to convert the rest of the corn plant to ethanol or other sources of energy. It was common to burn corn cobs during the depression as fuel to heat homes. Today, they may be converted to alchohol fuel for automobiles using genetically engineered yeast. Shell Global Solutions and Iogen in Canada have built a demonstration plant to create ethanol from cellulose, which could include the entire corn plant, or other plant materials like wheat straw that shows great promise for producing environmentally-friendly economic fuel.

have already discussed the many toxic effects of the unsaturated oils, and I have frequently mentioned that coconut oil doesn't have those toxic effects, though it does contain a small amount of the unsaturated oils. \n\nMany people have asked me to write something on coconut oil. I thought I might write a small book on it, but I realize that there are no suitable channels for distributing such a book -- if the seed-oil industry can eliminate major corporate food products that have used coconut oil for a hundred years, they certainly have the power to prevent dealers from selling a book that would affect their market more seriously. For the present, I will just outline some of the virtues of coconut oil.

I think the processing of crude oil into so many products is really interesting. The "Heart" of a refinery would be the  crude unit that  heats and fractionates the oil, setting into motion the production of gas, oils, napthas, and byproducts that were once discarded, but have been found useful in other industries. Research is showing there's more coming.

i wouldn't expect anyone in the oil business to do anything to change the industry (although bush HAS passed a law stating that government vehicles must be equipped to use ethanol as an alternate fuel). it is really up to americans to change what they use, because the oil industry is entrenched and will not check themselves -- business just doesn't work that way. republicans hate to have government make the people do anything, so the likelihood of us passing laws such as those in Brazil are slim to none. I am personally just going to buy a flex car and run it on ethanol. No more petroleum fuel for me. E85 is produced without the use of petro-products, is home-grown, and is cleaner and better for the car anyway and the same price and soon to be less.
