What does OLEATE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A salt or ester formed from oleic acid, a fatty acid found in olive oil and other fats.
An oleate forms when oleic acid reacts with a metal, alcohol, or other base, producing a compound that keeps the long carbon chain of the original fatty acid. Chemists and manufacturers use various oleates as ingredients in soaps, lubricants, and certain medicines, since the compounds share the greasy, water-repelling character of the parent acid. The word names a whole family of related compounds rather than one single substance.
