Vegetable Oils and Fats

This edition of Vegetable Oils and Detergents was a revised edition, published in 1973, of the original educational booklet. The book concentrated on the production and commercial extraction of fats and oils, the basic raw materials for two of Unilever's most important industries - margarine manufacture and soap-making. The by-products of the extraction process was also considered, along with research into techniques of milling and refining.
