~ Butter fat consists principally of olein, palmitin, and stearin.    From Wordnik.com.  [An Elementary Study of Chemistry] Reference

The presence of stearin and palmitin, which are solid at the ordinary temperature, gives firmness to.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Handbook of Soap Manufacture] Reference

~ These are largely mixtures of the ethereal salts known respectively as olein, palmitin, and stearin.    From Wordnik.com.  [An Elementary Study of Chemistry] Reference

Stearin and palmitin are hard fats, crystalline in structure, and with a high melting point, while olein is.    From Wordnik.com.  [Human Foods and Their Nutritive Value] Reference

As found in food materials, it is a mechanical mixture of various fats, among which are stearin, palmitin, and olein.    From Wordnik.com.  [Human Foods and Their Nutritive Value] Reference

The reactions involved may be illustrated by the following equation representing the reaction between palmitin and sodium hydroxide.    From Wordnik.com.  [An Elementary Study of Chemistry] Reference

The reactions with stearin and palmitin (of which tallow chiefly consists) and with olein (found largely in olive and cotton-seed oils) are as follows.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Handbook of Soap Manufacture] Reference

Of the above the most important from a soap-maker's point of view are stearin, palmitin, olein and laurin, as these predominate in the fats and oils generally used in that industry.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Handbook of Soap Manufacture] Reference

After melting and solidifying, palmitin shows no crystalline fracture; when heated to 46° C. it melts to a liquid which becomes solid on further heating, again liquefying when 61. 7° C. is reached, and becoming cloudy, with separation of crystalline particles.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Handbook of Soap Manufacture] Reference

When tallow is saponified there is formed, from the palmitin, stearin, and olein contained, with the cauticizing agent -- in this case, lime -- a soap.    From Wordnik.com.  [Great Sea Stories] Reference
