Soluble fiber: dissolves in water and is fermented by intestinal bacteria Many are viscous, have thickening properties Move more slowly through GI tract Examples: Pectin in fruits and vegetables, beta-glucan in oats and barley, gums in legumes, psyllium 2.
Oleic acid is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in various animal and vegetable fats and oils. It is an odorless, colorless oil, although commercial samples may be yellowish. Oleic acid as its sodium salt is a major component of soap as an emulsifying agent.
Oleum (Latin oleum = oil), or fuming sulfuric acid, is a solution of various compositions of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid, or sometimes more specifically to disulfuric acid (also known as pyrosulfuric acid).Oleums can be described by the formula y SO 3 .H 2 O where y is the total molar sulfur trioxide content.hey can also be described by the formula H 2 SO 4. x SO 3 where x is now defined as the molar free sulfur trioxide content. Oleum is generally assessed according to the free SO 3 content by weight. It can also be expressed as a percentage of sulfuric acid strength; for oleum concentrations, that would be over 100%.
