   Fat \Fat\, n.
      1. (Physiol. Chem.) An oily liquid or greasy substance making
            up the main bulk of the adipose tissue of animals, and
            widely distributed in the seeds of plants. See {Adipose
            tissue}, under {Adipose}.
  
      Note: Animal fats are composed mainly of three distinct fats,
               tristearin, tripalmitin, and triolein, mixed in varying
               proportions. As olein is liquid at ordinary
               temperatures, while the other two fats are solid, it
               follows that the consistency or hardness of fats
               depends upon the relative proportion of the three
               individual fats. During the life of an animal, the fat
               is mainly in a liquid state in the fat cells, owing to
               the solubility of the two solid fats in the more liquid
               olein at the body temperature. Chemically, fats are
               composed of fatty acid, as stearic, palmitic, oleic,
               etc., united with glyceryl. In butter fat, olein and
               palmitin predominate, mixed with another fat
               characteristic of butter, butyrin. In the vegetable
               kingdom many other fats or glycerides are to be found,
               as myristin from nutmegs, a glyceride of lauric acid in
               the fat of the bay tree, etc.
  
      2. The best or richest productions; the best part; as, to
            live on the fat of the land.
  
      3. (Typog.) Work. containing much blank, or its equivalent,
            and, therefore, profitable to the compositor.
  
      {Fat acid}. (Chem.) See {Sebacic acid}, under {Sebacic}.
  
      {Fat series}, {Fatty series} (Chem.), the series of the
            paraffine hydrocarbons and their derivatives; the marsh
            gas or methane series.
  
      {Natural fats} (Chem.), the group of oily substances of
            natural occurrence, as butter, lard, tallow, etc., as
            distinguished from certain fatlike substance of artificial
            production, as paraffin. Most natural fats are essentially
            mixtures of triglycerides of fatty acids.
