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 peanut oil processing technology?
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.
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.
Why is US pretreatment used in the extraction of peanut oil & proteins?
US pretreatment technique can be applied for the extraction of peanut oil and proteins to improve their heat-induced gelation properties by modifying their molecular structure to the denser and more homogeneous network (more stable) which is less sensitive to enzyme hydrolysis ( Fig. 13 ).
