Synopsis
Excerpt from Cantor Lectures on Oils and Fats: Their Uses and Applications
Vaster still are the stores of hard vegetable fats which tropical countries such as India, the Sunda Islands, South America, and tropical Africa are able to furnish. Hitherto only two or three kinds of vegetable fats have found extensive use in this country, namely, cocoanut oil and the two oils obtained from the palm tree - palm oil and palm kernel oil. Smaller quantities only of other fats, such as Mowrah seed oil and Mahwah butter, reach this country, whereas the Continent of Europe seems to be less conservative in the choice of its raw materials. Thus, Chinese vegetable tallow and shea butter are chiefly worked up in Marseilles and in the North of Europe, whereas only comparatively small quantities reach this country. The vast stores which the Malayan Archipelago alone could furnish seem to be practically unknown to the majority of manufacturers.
