Thus if a small amount of stearic acid be added to liquid palmitic acid and the solution frozen, the melting point of this solid will be lower than that of palmitic acid.
Calculate to oleic acid, except that in the case of palm oil the results may also be expressed in terms of palmitic acid, clearly indicating the two methods of calculation in the report.
Likewise the melting point of stearic acid is lowered by the addition of a small amount of palmitic acid.
A palmitate derived from three molecules of palmitic acid.
It was formerly supposed to be an individual fatty acid, but is now known to be simply an intimate mixture of stearic and palmitic acids.
The first on examination proved to be a mixture of palmiticand stearic acids existing uncombined in the wool oil.
The acid obtained from the first fractionation had the melting point at 75°-76°, indicating an acid either in carbon then stearic or palmitic acids.
From the portion of the calcium salts insoluble in alcohol, a fatty acid was obtained with a melting point and composition almost identical with the melting point and composition of palmitic acid.
This acid in composition and general properties was very similar to that obtained by freezing the naphtha solution of the oil, and is probably a mixture of stearic and palmitic acids.
In certain lupine seeds, the fatty acids present in the lecithin appear to be palmitic and stearic.
The oil, which probably consists of the glycerides of oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids, is secured by crushing, steaming and pressing the seed.
It contains glycerides of linoleic and especially palmitic acid.
This product is a more or less impure mixture of stearic acid and other fatty bodies, particularly the so-called margaric acid, now generally regarded as a mixture of palmitic and stearic acids.
This term was formerly applied to a mixture of palmitic and stearic acids, produced by decomposing the alkaline soaps of solid fats with an acid, but it is now given to a fatty acid which can only be obtained artificially.
Chemically, it is a glyceride of palmitic acid, three molecules of palmitic acid being united to one molecule of glyceryl, and hence it is technically called tripalmitin, or glyceryl tripalmitate.
Defn: A palmitate derived from three molecules of palmitic acid.
If hydrochloric acid is added to a solution of the sodium salts, the free palmitic and stearic acids are precipitated.
Ordinary fats consist principally of derivatives of palmiticand stearic acids.
The following table gives the names of a few of the more common fatty acids and their corresponding fats: Stearic acid Stearin Palmitic acid.
Cacao butter Medullic and margaric acids, which were formerly included in this series, have now been shown to consist of mixtures of stearic and palmitic, and stearic palmitic and oleic acids respectively.
Palmitin (Tripalmitin) may be obtained by heating together palmitic acid and glycerol, repeatedly boiling the resulting product with strong alcohol, and allowing it to crystallise.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "palmitic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
