  Palmitin \Pal"mi*tin\, n. [So called because abundant in palm
     oil.] (Physiol. Chem.)
     A solid crystallizable fat, found abundantly in animals and
     in vegetables. It occurs mixed with stearin and olein in the
     fat of animal tissues, with olein and butyrin in butter, with
     olein in olive oil, etc. Chemically, it is a glyceride of


     palmitic acid, three molecules of palmitic acid being united
     to one molecule of glyceryl, and hence it is technically
