Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LARD (Fr. lard, from Lat. laridum, bacon fat, related to Gr. Naptvos fat, Napos dainty or sweet) , the melted and strained fat of the common hog. Properly it is prepared from the "
leaf
  " or fat of the bowel and kidneys, but in commerce the
term
  as applied to products which include fat obtained from other parts of the animal and sometimes containing no "
leaf
  " at all. Lard of various grades is made in enormous quantities by the
great
  pork-packing houses at Chicago and elsewhere in
America. " Neutral lard" is prepared at a temperature of 400-500 C. from freshly killed hogs; the finest quality, used for making oleomargarine, is got from the leaf, while the second, employed by biscuit and pastry bakers, is obtained from the fat of the back. Steam heat is utilized in extracting inferior qualities, such as " choice lard" and " prime steam lard," the source of the latter being any fat portion of the animal. Lard is a pure white fat of a butter-like consistence; its specific gravity is about 0.93, its solidifying point about 270-300 C., and its melting point 350-45 C. It contains about 6o% of olein and 40% of palmitin and stearin.
Adulteration
  is common, the substances used including " stearin" both of beef and of mutton, and vegetable oils such as
cotton
  seed oil: indeed, mixtures have been sold as lard that contain nothing but such adulterants. In the pharmacopoeia lard figures as adeps and is employed as a basis for ointments. Benzoated lard, used for the same purpose, is prepared by
heating
  lard with 3% of powdered benzoin for two
hours
 ; it keeps better than.
ordinary
  lard, but has slightly irritant properties.
Lard oil is the limpid, clear, colourless oil expressed by hydraulic pressure and gentle heat from lard; it is employed for burning and for lubrication. Of the solid residue, lard " stearine," the best qualities are utilized for making oleomargarine, the inferior ones in the manufacture of candies.
See J. Lewkowitsch, Oils, Fats and Waxes (London, 1909).
