Basic Examples (3) 

Display the interactive BarChart to select an oil type and fatty acid type:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Get the full fatty acid profile for a single fat or oil type:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Get a single fatty acid category for a specified fat or oil type:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Scope (3) 

Display the categorized fatty acids data as a Dataset:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Display the data as a Tabular object:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Display associations of the complete data, including food entities and full property names:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

Applications (1) 

Sort the Tabular data according to the monounsaturated oleic acid content with SortBy, then display the oleic acid in all of the cooking fats and oils with ListPlot:

In[7]:=

Out[8]=

Possible Issues (1) 

The requested oil type or fatty acid category may not be available in the dataset:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

Neat Examples (4) 

BarChart is another effective way to visualize the fatty acids data. In this case, the data is sorted according to the amount of saturated palmitic acid:

In[11]:=

Out[12]=

Use Histogram to group the values for two saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid and stearic acid) into bins and see how frequently they occur:

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

Visualize and compare the distribution of values for the most dominant fatty acid in each category—a MUFA, a PUFA and a saturated fatty acid. SmoothHistogram replaces the discrete bins of Histogram with a continuous curve to show the shape and overlap of the distributions. The curve represents the probability density, rather than a raw count:

In[14]:=

Out[14]=

BoxWhiskerChart displays the minimum, median and maximum values for the three dominant fatty acids, as well as the interquartile range:

In[15]:=
