Making margarine from olive oil

Today I'll be making some margarine from olive oil, however, it is going to be terrible and inedible. It is all about the journey though...right?
To make it, I'll be hydrogenating olive oil. Margarine is normally partially hydrogenated, but I am going to fully hydrogenate things. So, it's going to actually be closer to "shortening".
I was informed by some people that my way of making the margarine was terrible. I am probably going to try it again sometime, where I use a whisk (and froth it properly) and I'll do a partial hydrogenation.

    • Hydrogenation :D thats the second one ive seen you do if im not mistaken. Perhaps you could do a video on preparing a hydrogenation catalyst? PtO2 is a rather easy one to prepare however its rather pyrophoric, Not sure how to go about impregnating palladium onto carbon but maybe that would be a more friendly less potentially explosive option, of coarse dry Pd/C is still pyrophoric but i think if its wet its rather safe as you demonstrated here. Not sure if wet platinum is also safer to handle.

Seems like he just used them as solvents so I'd have subbed out Methanol for Ethanol (not insanely toxic and should work just as well) and planned something else for his DCM step. It's probably fine since those solvents are volatile and you can reliably evaporate them off, but I'd always assume the worst that you still have a little reagent contaminating your final product.

    • @DeltroxTv you don't trust chemistry then. Even if there was trace amounts of methanol left over it wouldn't have been anywhere near enough to have any effect whatsoever. If you drink any dark coloured hard liquor or beer just know that you're consuming more methanol in a single beer or shot than in probably 10lbs of the margarine he made. And dichloromethane has a boiling point of 39 degrees celsius while he heated the mixture far above that in the end. Him saying "it should probably be fine" has nothing to do with the sloppiness or carelessness of his methodology and execution and everything to do with the chaotic nature of chemistry itself. You would know this if you actually passed that grade 9 class.

  • Try to add less emulsifier (it seems you might have added too much of lecithin) and maybe add a bit more olive oil. Also some salt might help with the taste. But the taste is also influenced by the scent as well. If you get the time, by playing around with ratios and aromas you could end up with a pretty solid (and spreadable) margarine.

    • Cis is a prefix meaning same, trans is a prefix meaning opposite/different/across, and in either case, that's exactly what it's referring to. In cis fats, the hydrogens are on the same side of the double bond, and in trans fats, they're on opposite sides.

Lecithin is present in just a small amount in egg yolk or mustard (used as the source of the emulsifier in these mixtures) and you use relatively little of these compared to the oil and vinegar to be emulsified.

    • 6alecapristrudel The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1, meaning just 1 proton is present. So if it's coupled, then it would have a mass of 2, 2 protons. Helium has an atomic mass of 4, which is 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Hence, helium is still larger/heavier than H2.

      @dustinsmith8341@dustinsmith83416 жыл бұрын
    • Mass has nothing to do with it. It's all about atomic radius, which is determined by the size of the electron orbitals. The size of a nucleus has a tiny direct contribution to the size of an atom. But as nuclei become more and more charged they pull the electrons further in. If you remember your periodic table atoms get smaller the further to the right they are. That and helium's extra electron is located in the same 1s orbital as hydrogen's electron, but with opposite spin. This means that no new shell is created and therefore the atom does not get bigger and in fact it gets smaller.

      @6alecapristrudel@6alecapristrudel6 жыл бұрын
    • And even if hydrogen were smaller it would only be by a little bit. It would have to be less than half the size of helium in order for H2 to be smaller than He. And that is laughably wrong.

  • I've actually worked on industrial sized hydrogenation vessels. They were about 4 m tall and 2 m across. The inside of the vessel is lined with stainless coils that can either heat or cool the mix. The hydrogen is pumped in through a 1 m sparging ring at the bottom. There's also a driveshaft that runs up the center with several sets of paddles attached to it. The work usually involved re-tightening the bolts for the coils, removing the sparging ring because it would regularly plug up, and replacing the bushings and seals for the mixing shaft. The insides of the vessel would over time build up a heavy black coating of stuff that resembled hard spongy plastic. Also, the catalyst the plant used was nickel based. On occasion, the spent catalyst bin would spontaneously combust.
