Food, Nutrition & Wellness ©2010Chapter 30: Fats and OilsChapter SummariesOils and solid fats give unique qualities to food. Both provide food energy, but they affect health differently. Oils with mostly unsaturated fats are heart healthy. Solid fats with more saturated fats are not. Consume oils for their health benefits, but keep energy in balance. Hydrogenation changes oils to solid fats. Rancidity spoils their quality. Choose oils and solid fats to match their purpose. Check the Nutrition Facts to compare the fat content. Store fats properly to keep their quality. Fats contribute tenderness, flakiness, lightness, color, flavor and smooth texture. Content and Academic VocabularyContent Vocabulary
