Description
An oil extracted from plant parts, such as seeds, fruits, or nuts. Vegetable oils contain a mixture of glycerides. Drying oils with a high number of unsaturated glycerides (oleic and linoleic) can oxidize to form hard, insoluble films. Nondrying oils contain mostly saturated glycerides and do not thicken readily.
Examples of vegetable oils:
- Drying oils (linseed, tung, perilla, walnut, etc.) - mainly used in paints
- Semidrying oils (cottonseed, soybean, etc.) - used in paints, soaps and food
- Nondrying oils (coconut, corn, olive, etc.) - mainly used as food products
