DESCRIPTION

Peanut Oil (Unhydrogenated) is a pale yellow oil obtained from the kernel of the peanut plant Arachis hypogaea L. (Fam. Fabaceae) by mechanical expression or solvent extraction. It is refined, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and flavor components, and miscellaneous other non-oil materials. It is a liquid at 21° to 27°, but solidifies to a gel-like consistency at 2° to 4°. It is free from visible foreign matter at 21° to 27°, but sometimes clouds at temperatures above 21°.
