An ancient oil plant, Camelina sativa, has recently gained popularity because of its high omega-3 content (30–45%), and it has been added to some margarines. Hemp oil contains about 20% ALA. Small amounts of ALA are found in vegetable oils such as soybean oil (7.8%) and canola oil (9.2%).
In the United States, HFCS is among the sweeteners that have mostly replaced sucrose (table sugar) in the food industry. [7] [8] Factors contributing to the increased use of HFCS in food manufacturing include production quotas of domestic sugar, import tariffs on foreign sugar, and subsidies of U.S. corn, raising the price of sucrose and reducing that of HFCS, creating a manufacturing-cost ...
[168] [169] Full-fat soy flour is a component of the famous Cornell bread recipe. [170] [171] [172] Low-fat soy flour is made by adding some oil back into defatted soy flour. Fat levels range from 4.5% to 9%. [167] High-fat soy flour can also be produced by adding back soybean oil to defatted flour, usually at 15%. [173]
The growth of schools serving vegan school meals has increased in recent years with the lunches added by Los Angeles, California in 2018, Portland, Maine in 2019, and New York City in 2022.

[1] The oil is used in food manufacturing, in beauty products, and as biofuel. Palm oil accounted for about 36% of global oils produced from oil crops in 2014. [2]
Bacteria capable of digesting the hydrocarbons in petroleum are often used to clean up oil spills. [236] Fertiliser was added to some of the beaches in Prince William Sound in an attempt to promote the growth of these naturally occurring bacteria after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. These efforts were effective on beaches that were not too ...
The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.

A winemaker running a paper chromatography test to determine whether a wine has completed malolactic fermentation. Malolactic conversion (also known as malolactic fermentation or MLF) is a process in winemaking in which tart-tasting malic acid, naturally present in grape must, is converted to softer-tasting lactic acid.
