| The Plant &
Animal Oil was usually used to cooking oils. The Plant & Animal Oil
used for edible purposes can be divided into two distinct classes:
liquid oils, such as olive oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, or
sunflower oil; and plastic fats, such as lard, shortening, butter,
and margarine. Common plant-derived Plant and Animal cooking oils
are derived from nuts, seeds, grains and beans. Most animal Oils
are solid at room temperature (and thus not considered oils), but
fish, whales and other.
Some of the many different kinds of Plant oils are; grape seed oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, cashew oil and sesame oil. The method of obtaining the oils is similar for all: the fruits or seeds after being cleaned are crushed and pressed cold to obtain the highest grade of oil and then pressed warm, yielding a grade suitable for industrial use. Sometimes solvents are used to remove the remaining oil from the crushed mass. Edible oils are those used in foods, and for these the highest grade is utilized; these must be pale in color, free from disagreeable odor and taste, and wholesome. Animal oils used in foods include butter, lard, chicken fat, and suet. Cod-liver oil and some other fish oils are used therapeutically as sources of vitamins A and D. Nutritionally oils and oils are valued as a source of energy. Because they contain less oxygen than other nutrients, they oxidize more readily and release more energy. Plant & Animal oil are digested in the human body chiefly by the enzyme lipase (in the pancreatic juice) aided by the bile. |

Camellia oil and its component of fatty acid are much similar to those of olive oil, which is considered worldwide the best edible woody oil. And the camellia oil contains higher unsaturated fatty acid than olive oil.
