Sequential process steps—as, for example, crushing, extraction, refining, hydrogenation and fractionation—always include critical points. The origin of oils and fats is recalled, and reference is made to worldwide consumption. Based on up‐to‐date technology, the importance of links is demonstrated and explained by selected examples supported by graphs and isometric drawings.
