oil

(oyl) [Fr. oile fr L. oleum, olive oil, oil] A greasy liquid not miscible with water, usually obtained from and classified as mineral, vegetable, or animal. According to character, oils are subdivided principally as fixed (fatty) and volatile (essential).

canola oil

A light, clear oil derived from the pods of an oilseed plant in the rapeseed family. The oil is composed of 7% saturated fat (the lowest saturated fat content of any vegetable oil), 61% monounsaturated fat, and 22% polyunsaturated fat.

The seeds were initially bred and processed in Canada for lower erucic acid levels, making it an edible, nontoxic oil. The commercial oil was changed from the unfortunate rapeseed to Canola oil, from Can(adian) o(il), l(ow) a(cid).

castor oil

A fixed oil expressed from the seed of the castor-oil plant (Ricinus communis), used externally as an emollient and internally as a cathartic. It is hydrolyzed to ricinoleic acid, which acts as an irritant type of laxative.

chaulmoogra oil

, chaulmugra oil, chaulmaugra oilA vegetable oil used to treat leprosy and some dermatoses. Although generally replaced by sulfones in treatment of leprosy, chaulmoogra oil is still used in areas where leprosy is endemic because of its availability and low cost.

coconut oil

A colorless cooking oil, derived from the nut of the palm tree (Cocos nucifera). It has the highest level of saturated fat (about 91%) of all cooking oils.

cod liver oil

An oil obtained from codfish liver, rich in vitamins A and D.

Action/Uses

Cod liver oil was widely used in cases of nutritional deficiency to supply vitamins A and D, esp. for prophylaxis of rickets in infants. It is rarely used now because more efficient and more palatable agents are available.

croton oil

A fixed oil expressed from the seed of the croton plant (Croton tiglium). It is toxic to skin, heart, muscle, and the gastrointestinal tract.

essential oil

A volatile oil, esp. one that has an odor and taste, extracted from plants by various means. Some of these oils have been used since antiquity as preservatives and antiseptics, e.g., thymol and eugenol. Some are used in flavorings, perfumes, and medicines. They are usually complex chemicals difficult to purify. Synonym: volatile oil

eucalyptus oil

Eucalyptol.

evening primrose oil

An oil derived from Oenothera biennis, a biennial herb with yellow flowers, that contains omega-6 fatty acids. It is promoted for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, e.g., of the skin or joints.

fish oil

A popular term for omega-3 fatty acids, which when consumed in the diet in the form of salmon, halibut, and other cold-water fish, reduce the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Dietary supplements of fish oil capsules containing omega-3 and/or omega-6 fatty acids, by contrast, have shown inconsistent results in the prevention of CAD.

fixed oils

Any of the oils in plants and animals that are glyceryl esters of fatty acids. These oils serve as food reserves in animals. They are nonvolatile and contain no acid.

flaxseed oil

Oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), used as a nutritional supplement. Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid promoted for its effect in preventing heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and arthritis. See: essential fatty acid; flaxseed; linolenic acid; omega-3 (?3) fatty acids

halibut liver oil

An oil obtained from the liver of the halibut fish (genus Hippoglossus), rich in vitamins A and D.

medium-chain triglyceride oil

A cooking oil of medium-chain triglycerides, used therapeutically as a source of calories and fatty acids, esp. in patients with long-chain and very long-chain fatty acid metabolism disorders. These triglycerides are more readily absorbed from the gut than are most long-chain triglycerides.

mineral oil

Liquid petrolatum.

olive oil

An oil obtained by pressing ripe olives (Olea europaea). It is the major fat used in Mediterranean cooking. It has a relatively high content of monounsaturated fatty acids (which reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and polyphenols (which act as antioxidants). It can be consumed in the diet or used on the skin as an emollient.

peanut oil

A refined oil obtained from the seed kernels of one or more of the cultivated varieties of Arachis hypogaea, used as a solvent for some medicines that are injected intramuscularly.

safflower oil

The oil expressed from the seeds of the safflower plant, Carthamus tinctorius. It is high in linoleic acid and low in saturated fatty acids. Diets rich in safflower oil produce less serum cholesterol and apolipoproteins A-I and B than similar diets in which butter or coconut oil is used as the primary fat source.

sesame oil

Oil obtained from the seeds of Sesamum indicum, used as a pharmaceutical aid and as a cooking oil. Sesame oils occasionally cause contact dermatitis.
