-liquid oils, such as olive oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, or sunflower oil; and -plastic fats, such as lard, shortening, butter, and margarine.
In general, fat and oil undergo four processing steps: 1. Extraction 2. Refining (Neutralization or Degumming) 3. Bleaching 4. Deodorization
Rendering
more often employed for the extraction of fats from animal tissues. oil-bearing tissues are chopped into small pieces and boiled in water the oil floats to the surface of the water and skimmed water, carbohydrates, proteins, and phospholipids remain in the aqueous phase and are removed from the oil degumming is also performed during this step to remove excess phospholipids the separated proteins are often used as animal feeds or fertilizers.
Mechanical Pressing often used to extract oil from seeds and nuts
shells or hulls of the plant materials are removed and the kernels or meats are grinded to rupture the cellular structures
the coarse meal is then heated and pressed in hydraulic or screw presses to extract the oil In some cases, oil is pressed without heating. Such oil is known as coldpressed or virgin oil. It contains the least amount of impurities and is often of edible quality without further refining.
For seeds or nuts containing a higher oil content than soybeans it became customary to press the material in screw presses to remove a large proportion of the oil before extraction. Since this prepressing also ruptures the cellular structures of oil-bearing materials, most of the residual oil is easily removed with solvents
Solvent Extraction
For seeds or nuts containing a higher oil content, not all of the oil is removed during pressing.
Organic solvents such as petroleum ether and hexane can be added to the pressed cake to recover the residual oil.
The oil-sovent solution will then be separated from the meal. Finally, the solvent is evaporated from the oil.

Bleaching
Bleaching The major purpose of bleaching is the removal or undesire color materials in the oil.
Heated oil (~85 oC) may be treated with various bleaching agents such as fuller's earth, activated carbon, or activated clays. Many impurities, including chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments, are adsorbed onto such agents and removed by filtration. However, bleaching also promotes lipid oxidation since some natural antioxidants are removed together with the impurities.

Deodorization
Deodorization is the final step in the refining of oils. Deodorization involves the use of steam distillation under reduced pressure.
In Europe, a deodorization temperature of 175 - 205 C is common, but in the United States, higher temperatures of 235 - 250 C are usually employed.
Volatile compounds with undesirable odors and tastes can be driven off, resulting a odorless product. The oil produced is referred to as "refined oil" and is ready to be consumed or for the manufacture of other products. About 0.01 percent of citric acid is often added during this step to inactivate pro-oxidant metals such as iron or copper.

Trans fat has both the benefits and drawbacks of a saturated fat.
- It has a longer shelf life than regular vegetable fat and is solid at room temperature.
-Trans fat tends to raise "bad" LDL- cholesterol and lower "good" HDL-cholesterol, although not as much as saturated fat. -Trans fat is found in margarine, baked goods such as doughnuts and Danish pastry, deep-fried foods like fried chicken and Frenchfried potatoes, snack chips, imitation cheese, and confectionary fats.
These processes are used to modify physical properties of an oil or fat such as melting point and consistency.
