Definition of Oleomergarine
O`le*o*mar"ga*rine (?), n. [L.
oleum oil + E. margarine, margarin.] [Written
also oleomargarin.] 1. A liquid oil made
from animal fats (esp. beef fat) by separating the greater portion of
the solid fat or stearin, by crystallization. It is mainly a mixture
of olein and palmitin with some little stearin.
2. An artificial butter made by churning this
oil with more or less milk.
&fist; Oleomargarine was wrongly so named, as it contains no
margarin proper, but olein, palmitin, and stearin, a mixture
of palmitin and stearin having formerly been called margarin
by mistake.
