fat
\fat\ (?), n. 1. (physiol. chem.) an oily liquid or greasy substance making up the main bulk of the adipose tissue of animals, and widely distributed in the seeds of plants. see adipose tissue , under adipose.
note: animal fats are composed mainly of three distinct fats, tristearin, tripalmitin, and triolein, mixed in varying proportions. as olein is liquid at ordinary temperatures, while the other two fats are solid, it follows that the consistency or hardness of fats depends upon the relative proportion of the three individual fats. during the life of an animal, the fat is mainly in a liquid state in the fat cells, owing to the solubility of the two solid fats in the more liquid olein at the body temperature. chemically, fats are composed of fatty acid, as stearic, palmitic, oleic, etc., united with glyceryl. in butter fat, olein and palmitin predominate, mixed with another fat characteristic of butter, butyrin. in the vegetable kingdom many other fats or glycerides are to be found, as myristin from nutmegs, a glyceride of lauric acid in the fat of the bay tree, etc.

The Glossary of the American Council on Science and Health
fat (lipid)
A chemical compound, or a mixture of such compounds, that is not water-soluble but dissolves in organic solvents (e.g., chloroform and gasoline). Fats include oils, phospholipids (e.g., cholesterol and vitamin D), terpenes, (e.g., beta-carotene), triglycerides, and waxes (e.g., beeswax). Triglycerides, which yield glycerol (glycerin) and fatty acids, constitute most of the fat in food and in the human body. The main types of dietary fat are saturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and monounsaturated fats. All three types of dietary fat occur in all natural food sources of fat.

Cholesterol Glossary
Fat
One of the nutrients that supply calories to the body. The body needs only small amount of fat. Foods contain different types of fat, which have different effect on blood cholesterol levels. These include:
Total fat The sum of the saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats present in food. All foods have a varying mix of these three types.
Saturated fat A type of fat found in greatest amounts in the skin, whole-milk dairy products, lard, and in some vegetable oils, including coconut, palm kernel, and palm oils. Saturated fat raises blood cholesterol more than anything else eaten.
Unsaturated fat A type of fat that is usually liquid at refrigerator temperature. Monounsaturate fat and polyunsaturated fat are two kinds of unsaturated fat. When used in place of saturated fat, monunsaturated and polyunsaturated fats help to lower blood cholesterol levels.
Monounsaturated fat An unsaturated fat that is found in greatest amount in food from plants, including olive and canola oil.
Polyunsaturated fat An unsaturated fat found in greatest amounts in foods from plants, including safflower, sunflower, corn, and soybean oils.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Fat
(Heb. heleb) denotes the richest part of the animal, or the fattest of the flock, in the account of Abel's sacrifice (Gen. 4:4). It sometimes denotes the best of any production (Gen. 45:18; Num. 18:12; Ps. 81:16; 147:47). The fat of sacrifices was to be burned (Lev. 3:9-11; 4:8; 7:3; 8:25; Num. 18:17. Comp. Ex. 29:13-22; Lev. 3:3-5). It is used figuratively for a dull, stupid state of mind (Ps 17:10). In Joel 2:24 the word is equivalent to "vat," a vessel. The hebrew word here thus rendered is elsewhere rendered "wine-fat" and "press-fat" (Hag. 2:16; Isa. 63:2).

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Fat

i.e. VAT, the word employed in the Authorized Version to translate the Hebrew term yekeb, in (Joel 2:24; 3:13) The word commonly used for yekeb is "winepress" or "winefat," and once "pressfat." (Haggai 2:16) The "vats" appear to have been excavated out of the native rock of the hills on which the vineyards lay. The Hebrews distinguished between the suet or pure fat of an animal and the fat which was intermixed with the lean. (Nehemiah 8:10) Certain restrictions were imposed upon them in reference to the former; some parts of the suet, viz., about the stomach, the entrails, the kidneys, and the tail of a sheep, which grows to an excessive size in many eastern countries, and produces a large quantity of rich fat, were forbidden to be eaten in the case of animals offered to Jehovah in sacrifice. (Leviticus 3:3,9,17; 7:3,23) The ground of the prohibition was that the fat was the richest part of the animal, and therefore belonged to him. (Leviticus 3:16) The burning of the fat of sacrifices was particularly specified in each kind of offering.

Fat
Fats consist of a wide group of compounds that are generally soluble in organic solvents and largely insoluble in water. Chemically, fats are generally triesters of glycerol and fatty acids. Fats may be either solid or liquid at normal room temperature, depending on their structure and composition. Although the words "oils", "fats" and "lipids" are all used to refer to fats, "oils" is usually used to refer to fats that are liquids at normal room temperature, while "fats" is usually used to refer to fats that are solids at normal room temperature. "Lipids" is used to refer to both liquid and solid fats. The word "oil" is used for any substance that does not mix with water and has a greasy feel, such as petroleum (or crude oil) and heating oil, regardless of its chemical structure.
