Peanut oil is a staple in many kitchens around the world, valued for its rich flavor and health benefits. In this special report, we'll take you on a fascinating journey to uncover how peanut oil makes its way from raw peanuts to your dining table.
The journey begins with the humble peanut, often arriving at the processing facility still in its shell. The first step is to remove the shells. Modern shelling machines can handle large volumes of peanuts efficiently, ensuring that only the clean, edible kernels move on to the next stage. This initial process is crucial as it sets the foundation for the quality of the final product.
Once the peanuts are shelled, manufacturers have two main options for extracting the oil: hot pressing and cold pressing. Hot pressing involves heating the peanuts to high temperatures before extraction. This method can yield up to 90% of the available oil from the peanuts. The resulting oil has a more intense flavor and aroma, making it popular for cooking. The oil cake produced from hot pressing is often used as high - quality animal feed, contributing to the circular economy.
Cold pressing, on the other hand, is carried out at lower temperatures, typically below 60°C. This process retains more of the natural nutrients and antioxidants in the oil, resulting in a lighter - flavored and healthier product. Although the oil yield from cold pressing is slightly lower, around 80%, the oil cake can be used to produce peanut protein powder, which is a valuable ingredient in the food and nutrition industry.
Before the actual oil extraction, the peanuts undergo a thorough cleaning and pre - treatment process. This step is essential to remove any impurities, such as dirt, stones, and broken kernels, ensuring the purity of the raw material. Advanced cleaning equipment can detect and separate foreign objects with high precision, guaranteeing the quality and safety of the peanut oil.
Roasting is a critical step in the production of peanut oil. The right roasting temperature can enhance the flavor and aroma of the oil. Generally, a roasting temperature between 120°C and 150°C is optimal. If the temperature is too low, the peanuts may not develop the desired flavor. Conversely, if the temperature is too high, the peanuts can burn, resulting in an unpleasant taste and reduced oil quality.
After roasting, the peanuts are crushed to increase the surface area for oil extraction. This mechanical process breaks down the cell walls of the peanuts, allowing the oil to flow more freely. Studies have shown that proper crushing can increase the oil extraction rate by up to 10%, making it a cost - effective and efficient step in the production process.
The company uses a state - of - the - art spiral peanut oil press for extraction. This advanced technology ensures a low residual oil rate in the oil cake, typically below 5%. The spiral design allows for continuous and efficient extraction, maximizing the amount of oil obtained from each batch of peanuts.
As mentioned earlier, the oil cakes produced during the extraction process are not wasted. They are either used as animal feed or processed into peanut protein powder. This not only reduces waste but also demonstrates the company's commitment to environmental protection and resource recycling.
The extracted crude oil then goes through a series of refining processes, including degumming, deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization. These steps remove any remaining impurities and unpleasant odors, resulting in a clear, pure, and high - quality peanut oil. Finally, the refined oil is carefully filled into bottles, ready to be distributed to the market.
In conclusion, the production of peanut oil is a meticulous and well - controlled process. From the careful selection of raw materials to the advanced extraction and refining techniques, every step is designed to ensure the highest quality and safety of the product. Our company's dedication to environmental protection and resource recycling further demonstrates our commitment to sustainable development.
