Catalytic hydrogenation breaks double bonds, which lead to increasing in melting point so that they cannot easily melted. Catalytic hydrogenation combats the oxidative cleavage - causes fats to become rancid, which could help to store food for longer. Catalytic hydrogenation causes fats to harden so that they are usually solid at room temperature (such as butter)
Both canola oil and olive oil not only contain lower percentage of saturated fat but also contain higher polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat. Compared to a tablespoon of olive oil, a table spoon of coconut oil contains about six times the amount of saturated fat. High saturated fat intake has been tied to increased levels of LDL cholesterol (low density lipoprotein cholesterol) which will lead to risks of heart diseases.
Grease trap in clothes or dishes are very common in our daily life, their main characteristic is hydrophobic, therefore they cannot be easily dissolved in water. So only water cannot wash away stains that was caused by grease. Cleaners that contain sodium hydroxide (either as a solid or already dissolved in water) will convert the fats to soap, substance that can easily dissolve in water so that this reaction will help to clean out all the dirt made from grease wastes. Soap appears to dissolve in water because amphipathic free fatty acids salts form micelles, with hydrophobic fatty acid tails toward the center and carboxylate groups facing outward toward the water. Fat-soluble particles can then dissolve inside micelles in the soap-water solution and wash away. Water-soluble compounds can freely dissolve in the water

Phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. They are the only phospholipids that have primary amine groups that can react with ninhydrin.
