What does OLEIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistry
Relating to or derived from oleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid found abundantly in olive oil and many other fats.
The word traces back to the Latin for olive, since oleic acid was first isolated from olive oil, though the same fatty acid also appears in large amounts in canola, avocado, and many nuts. Plant breeders now develop high-oleic varieties of crops such as sunflower, valued because the oil resists spoiling and behaves more like olive oil when heated.
