DEF

The harder part which remains after the extraction of the oleo-oil or tallow oil.

CONT

Tallow is a solid at ordinary temperatures with a melting point of 43-54 °C (109-129 °F). A choice of edible tallow, rendered with water at temperatures averaging 68 °C (155 °F), yields what is called "oleo stock" or, in France, "premier jus." Upon being melted, chilled, and pressed in a filter cloth, it yields oleo oil (a liquid of melting point 31 °C, widely used in early margarines and oil lamps) and oleostearine (a solid of melting point 50-54 °C, widely considered a by-product of the manufacture of oleo oil).

CONT

Edible [beef] by-products. ... Fats yield oleo stock and oleo oil for margarine and shortening. Oleo stearine is used in making chewing gum and certain candies.

CONT

Lard stearine, oleo-stearine, lard oil, oleomargarine not emulsified or mixed or prepared in any way.

CONT

Bleachable fancy tallow (BFT) is made from a mixture of inedible fat sources collected from butcher shops, grocery stores, and meat processing plants. BFT is great for increasing the energy value and palatability in animal feeds. The tallow can be further processed and segregated into individual fatty acids and glycerine which are then used to manufacture other products such as lubricants and dust suppressants. BFT has a high composition of saturated fatty acids and can have up to four per cent free fatty acids.

DEF

tallow oil: An animal oil obtained by pressing tallow and used chiefly as a lubricant especially when mixed with minerals oils.

OBS

tallow: The fat or adipose tissue of an animal ...; suet.

OBS

Source WEBIN gives to the term "oleo oil" a slightly different definition, as follows: "a yellow oil of buttery consistency expressed usually from edible tallow and used in making margarine and soap and in lubrication". Since it seems to possess a more general sense than "tallow oil", a translation solution could be to use the generic French equivalent "huile grasse".

OBS

"Oleo oil" is also a term used as a synonym for "oleomargarine" in the United States. See this other record in Termium.
