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.
Will cold pressing improve peanut oil production?
At the processing stage, technological upgrades are expected to enhance efficiency, with the adoption of low-temperature cold pressing increasing peanut oil yield by 5 percent. In August, Qishan’s local oil mill collaborated with the SAAS to jointly create a brand of environmentally friendly high oleic peanut oil.
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.
How does Qishan develop a peanut industry?
Aiming to gradually form a completed industry chain, Qishan strives to achieve an integration encompassing "breeding + order-based sales + deep processing," crafting a blueprint for its future peanut industry. At the breeding stage, the town promotes industrial development through research projects.
