margarine 人造黃油
來自法語margarine,人造黃油，最終來自希臘語margaron,珍珠，詞源同margaric,Margaret.該物質(zhì)通常由動物脂肪或油脂提煉而成，其結(jié)晶體與珍珠相似，因此其發(fā)明者19世紀法國科學家Hippolyte Mege Mouries借用該希臘詞來命名。
英文詞源
- margarine
- margarine: [19] Margarine was invented in 1869 by the French food technologist Hippolyte Mège-Mouries. Its name was based on margaric acid, a term coined by the French biochemist Michel-Eugène Chevreul for a fatty acid which he believed to be one of the constituents of animal fats (the earliest margarine was made from clarified beef fat). He derived it from Greek margarítēs ‘pearl’ (source also of English marguerite [19], and of the names Margaret and Margot), an allusion to the pearly lustre of the acid crystals. The abbreviation marge dates from the 1920s.
=> marguerite - margarine (n.)
- butter substitute, 1873, from French margarine (see margarin). Invented 1869 by French scientist Hippolyte Mège-Mouries and made in part from edible fats and oils.
The "enterprising merchant" of Paris, who sells Margarine as a substitute for Butter, and does not sell his customers by selling it as Butter, and at Butter's value, has very likely found honesty to be the best policy. That policy might perhaps be adopted with advantage by an enterprising British Cheesemonger. ["Punch," Feb. 21, 1874]
