Cotton Seed Oil vs Palm Kernel Oil Question


JARY

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. I'll try not to bore you with the details, but basically I've been using Cotton Seed Oil and have to switch to Palm Seed Oil for this product... and I'm not getting the same ability to stick.

 

I checked the ingredients I noticed the Palm oil has a far greater % saturated fatty acids in comparison with the cotton seed, which seems almost inversely proportional. I believe that the unsaturated fatty acids should have a lower melting point, so I'm thinking that probably has a lot to do with it.

 

Is there a simple technique that can be used to convert saturated --> unsaturated fatty acids in oils? I know it's easier the other way around, through hydrolysis, but I'm basically trying to get one oil to have the same consistency of the other so it'll stick better :)
