Fats and Oils
This booklet in the Unilever Advanced Series was published in 1994. Unlike the earlier booklets published in the 1960s, this booklet includes both theory and practical work. The text includes questions for students and updates the previous booklet on The Chemistry of Glycerides. The practical work is of two kinds: *basic experiments, which include detailed instructions *investigations, which use the basic experiments to answer more open-ended questions. The notes for teachers includes answers to all the questions in the students’ booklet and guidance on the practical work.
