– Soybean Oil: Commonly used in frying and as a base for salad dressings and margarine.
– Canola Oil: Known for its light flavour and high smoke point; used in cooking and baking.
– Sunflower Oil: Often used in cooking and frying due to its high smoke point and mild flavour.
– Corn Oil: Used for frying and as a base for margarine and salad dressings.
– Palm Oil: Used in frying and as a stabilizer in processed foods; also found in margarines and spreads.
– Olive Oil: Known for its health benefits and used in cooking, dressings, and as a finishing oil.

– Bleached Oils: Refined and treated to remove color and impurities.
– Deodorized Oils: Treated to remove odors, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
2. Hydrogenated Oils:
– Partially Hydrogenated Oils: Used to increase shelf life and stability; previously common in margarine and processed foods but less used today due to health concerns.
– Fully Hydrogenated Oils: More stable and less likely to contain trans fats; used in various food products.
3. Interestified Oils:
– Chemical Interestification: Used to modify the melting point and fat crystallization, creating more stable fats for confectionery and baking.
– Enzymatic Interestification: Uses enzymes to modify fats for specific functional properties.
4. Specialty Fats:
– Cocoa Butter: Used in chocolate and confectionery for its smooth texture and melting properties.
– Margarine: A butter substitute made from vegetable oils and fats, often with added emulsifiers and flavorings.
5. Shortenings:
