Summary
Tristearin, triolein, 1,2-diaceto-3-olein, an acetoolein product, and 1,2-dibutyro-3-olein were prepared. Also a commercial, refined, and bleached cottonseed oil was hydrogenated to obtain products having iodine values of 29.3 and 1.1. Solubility measurements were made for the mixtures tristearin-triolein, tristearin-1,2-diaceto-3-olein, tristearin-1,2-dibutyro-3-olein, and for hydrogenated cottonseed oils in the aceto-olein product and cottonseed oil.
In mixtures containing from 0.18% to approximately 30% of tristearin the solubility on a weight basis was unaffected by the nature of the oil. On a mole fraction basis the tristearin was most soluble in the triolein and least soluble in the 1,2-diaceto-3-olein. Hydrogenated cottonseed oil appeared to be about equally soluble, on a weight basis, in the aceto-olein product and cottonseed oil.
