This chapter covers the technology used for processing peanut oil. It starts by explaining the pretreatment technology and peanut pressing technology for high temperature and cold pressing peanut oil. It then discusses the peanut oil extraction technology, which includes leaching and separation technology.
How is peanut oil processed?
Only four plants process peanut oil in the United States. Peanut oil is processed by conventional caustic refining, adsorbent bleaching, and deodorization. The food uses of peanut oil and protein are reviewed in this article. Abstract This article reviews the production, processing, and food uses of peanut oil and protein.
What technology is used for extracting peanut oil?
The leaching method, also known as the extraction method, is the technology used for extracting peanut oil. It involves using certain organic solvents that can dissolve fat to spray and immerse the oil-bearing materials, eventually separating the fat from the materials.
What are the different methods of peanut oil production?
Currently, there are two main methods of peanut oil production: a) Traditional Pressing (Mechanical Method): In this method, a peanut oil press is utilized to squeeze out the oil from the peanuts. The mechanical force applied through pressing allows the oil to be extracted effectively.
