Cold pressed peanut oil is composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids, predominantly oleic and linoleic acids. Moreover, the oil is also rich in bioactive components such as tocopherols, phenolic acids, and phytosterols. Cold pressed peanut meal, also known as defatted peanut meal or pressed peanut meal, is a by-product of peanut oil extraction.
How is cold pressed peanut oil extracted?
Commercial cold pressed extraction of peanut oil is carried out using a twin-screw press at temperatures below 60°C ( Wang, Liu, Hu, et al., 2016; Zheng, Ren, Su, Yang, & Zhao, 2013 ). Lastly, a frame filter is used to press and filter three times under 30°C to obtain the cold pressed peanut oil ( Wang, Liu, Hu, et al., 2016 ).
What are the parameters of cold press extraction process?
Cold press extraction process parameters were flow rate (c onstant) and rotational rate 40 rpm. Se eds moistu r e an d oil contents w er e determined. Also, to tal oil contents dete rmined by th e so lvent extraction m ethod. Obtained oils fatty acids analyzed w ith two commercial oils of Iran (COI) and Turkey (COT).
What is cold pressed groundnut oil?
Cold-pressed groundnut oil, also known as peanut oil, is derived from one of our favorite legumes, the humble peanut. The ¡°cold-pressed¡± part is crucial. Unlike traditional methods of oil extraction that involve high heat and chemicals, cold-pressed oil is made by mechanically pressing the peanuts at a low temperature.
