Experiment 2: Production of Margarine

Margarine is a yellow substance made from vegetable oil and animal fats that is similar to
butter. Margarine is made from vegetable oils, so it contains unsaturated "good" fats —
polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. These types of fats help reduce low-density
lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol when substituted for saturated fat.
