Fıxed Oıls

The chemical composition of fixed vegetable aromatic oils can vary depending on the type of oil. However, generally, fixed oils are composed of esters of fatty acids called triglycerides. These fatty acids can have various chain lengths and saturated/unsaturated structures.

For example, some fixed oils like coconut oil are predominantly composed of saturated fatty acids, while others like shea butter may have more unsaturated fatty acids. The chemical compositions of these oils typically include components such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid, which are mostly fatty acids.

The components that provide the aromatic properties of these oils are primarily non-volatile compounds. These components can vary depending on the source of the oil and often include substances such as antioxidants, vitamins, and phytosterols.

However, the exact chemical composition of these oils can vary depending on factors such as the species of the plant, the geographical region where it is grown, the harvesting methods, and the processing of the oil. Therefore, the specific chemical composition of a fixed vegetable aromatic oil will vary depending on the production process and the plant species used.
