What does OLEINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistryhistorical
An older name for olein, the liquid glyceride of oleic acid found in natural fats and oils.
Oleine was the term nineteenth-century chemists and manufacturers used for the oily, liquid portion of fat that remained after the more solid components were removed. Because oleine stays liquid at room temperature while the firmer parts of fat do not, soap and candle makers separated it out during processing. Modern chemistry mostly uses the spelling olein for the same substance.
