The chemical structures mainly, I believe one takes a trans shape where as the other uses the cis shape, though I don't remember which is which.
Both animal fats and plant oils are made up of glycerol and fatty acids. The key difference lies in the types of fatty acids present; animal fats typically contain more saturated fatty acids, while plant oils often have higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids. This composition affects their physical properties and health implications, with animal fats being solid at room temperature and plant oils generally being liquid.
Plant or animal oils.
Margarine is made with oils and artificial ingredients, butter is made from cream, shortening is made from oils and sometimes animal fats.
Animal fats and plant oils are made up of glycerol and fatty acids.
Soap is made using animal fat or plant oils.
Oils primarily come from both plant and animal sources. Plant oils, such as olive, canola, and sunflower oil, are extracted from seeds, nuts, and fruits. Animal fats, such as lard and tallow, are derived from the tissues of animals. Additionally, petroleum oils are sourced from fossil fuels formed from ancient organic matter over millions of years.
Mineral oil no. Fish oil, animal oil and plant oils yes.
Gelatin is a substance derived from animal tissue, typically collagen found in skin and bones. Plant oils, such as olive oil or coconut oil, are extracted from plants through processes like pressing or solvent extraction.
Soaps are formed by the reaction between an alkali and the fatty acids found in vegetable oils and animal fats. Detergents are synthetic cleaners so by definition detergents are “soapless”.
Hydraulic oils are substances that are hot, while refrigeration properties are cold.
Acrylic materials are made from oils, usually fossil fuel oil, but some can be made from vegetable oils.
Plants and animals do not store lipids the same way. Plants store them in the cell wall, which animal cells do not have. Plant lipids are oils, while animal lipids are more concentrated fat.
