Peanut oil is recovered primarily by expeller pressing or in combination with hexane extraction. 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.
What is solvent extraction?
Solvent extraction is a method that involves the use of organic solvents, such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate, for the immersion of peanuts. These solvents chemically react with the oil present in peanuts, facilitating the separation of oil from the peanuts and enabling peanut oil production.
Can peanut meal be used for industrial processing?
As a by-product of oil extraction, peanut meal has limited industrial applications. However, considering its protein content, which contains numerous active groups, particularly globulin, it could serve as a valuable source for industrial processing.
How much does peanut oil cost?
In 2018, peanut oil sold for US$1470/MT in the United States and for US$1326 in Rotterdam. Peanut oil is recovered primarily by expeller pressing or in combination with hexane extraction. Only four plants process peanut oil in the United States. Peanut oil is processed by conventional caustic refining, adsorbent bleaching, and deodorization.
