The relative amounts of solid and liquid glycerides in cottonseed oil and a hydrogenated cottonseed oil have been estimated calorimetrically at different temperatures over the melting ranges of the oils. 2. A correlation has been established between the content of solids in hydrogenated cottonseed oil and the consistency of the oil, as measured by micropenetrations. 3. From previous micropenetration data on commercial fat products, it is established that such fats are plastic and easily worked only at solids contents between about 15 and 35 percent. Differences in the content of solids of as little as 1 percent are sufficient to cause noticeable differences in the consistency of plastic fats. 4. Within the ranges of temperature and iodine value at which hydrogenated cottonseed oil is plastic, it is estimated that each decrease in iodine value of 1 unit causes the solid glycerides content of the oil to increase approximately 1 percent.Read More
