A soft, white, animal substance; inodorous; insipid; oily; inflammable, easy to melt; spoiling in the air, and becoming rancid by union with oxygen: almost insoluble in alcohol; insoluble in water; soluble in fixed oils. Fat is formed of the immediate principles, stearin, margarin, and olein or elain, all of which are regarded as salts composed of stearic, margaric and oleic acids, and a common base, to which, from its sweetish taste, the name Glycerin Glycerina, Glycerinum, (F.) Glycerine has been given. To these are, almost always, joined an odorous and a colouring principle. GLYCERIN, Glycerina, has been introduced into the last edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the U. S. (1851), in which it is directed to be prepared as follows: - Lead plaster, recently prepared and yet fluid; boiling water, of each a gallon; mix: stir briskly for 15 minutes; allow it to cool and pour off the liquid. Evaporate until it has the s. g. 1.15, and pass slowly through it a current of sulpho-hydrio acid until a black precipitate is no longer thrown down. Filter and boil until the sulpho-hydric acid is driven off, and evaporate the liquid until it ceases to lose weight. Glycerin is a colourless or straw-coloured syrupy fluid; s. g. 1.25. It is soluble in water and iu alcohol, but not in ether. It is used in the form of lotion, composed of half an ounce to ten fluidounces of water, in cutaneous diseases, as psoriasis, pityriasis, lepra and ichthyosis. It forms a kind of varnish, and might be useful in cases of burns. Fat is found in a number of animal tissues, and is very abundant in the neighborhood of the kidneys and in the epiploon. It is generally fluid in the cetacea; soft, and of a strong smell in the carnivora; solid, and inodorous in the ruminating animal; white, and abundant in young animals; and yellowish in old. It generally forms about a twentieth part of the weight of the human body. The fat, considered physiologically, has, for its function, to protect the organs; maintain their temperature; and to serve for nutrition in case of need; as is observed in torpid animals.

Corpulent-f. Cells, Fatty vesicles.

The oily material that covers the connective tissue of an animal.

A solid oil; an oily concrete substance. The fats constitute one of the three chief groups of the organic foods of man. They are mixtures of the glycerin esters of various fatty acids, especially palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids. Rarely other fatty acids are combined with other alcohols as fats. See spermaceti. Chemically, pure fats are known as tristearin, tripalmitin, triolein etc.
