Peanut oil is a common edible oil, and it can’t be produced without the help of peanut oil press. The aroma of peanut oil is one of the important indexes of its quality, and this aroma is influenced by many factors.

Today, I will explain to you several factors that affect the fragrance of peanut oil:

1, Peanut variety.

Peanut variety is one of the main factors affecting the flavor of peanut oil. Different varieties of peanuts contain different volatile components, which will be volatilized during oil extraction, affecting the flavor of peanut oil. Generally speaking, the fragrance of peanut oil should be rich and lasting, and it is not good if the fragrance is too light or too heavy.

2, The technology and equipment of oil extraction.

Different types of oil presses use different technologies and equipment in the process of oil pressing, and these factors have an important impact on the quality of peanut oil. For example, peanut oil squeezed by physical pressing is more fragrant, while peanut oil squeezed by chemical extraction is relatively weak.

3, The temperature of oil extraction.

The temperature of oil extraction is one of the important factors affecting the flavor of peanut oil. If the oil extraction temperature is too high, it will destroy the volatile components in peanut oil, thus affecting the flavor of peanut oil. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature in the process of oil extraction to avoid excessive temperature.

4, The pressure of oil extraction.

The pressure of oil extraction will also affect the flavor of peanut oil. If the oil pressing pressure is not high enough, the nutrients and volatile components in peanut oil will not be completely released, thus affecting the flavor of peanut oil. Therefore, in the process of oil extraction, it is necessary to control the oil extraction pressure to ensure that the nutrients and volatile components in peanut oil can be completely released.

5, The treatment methods used in the process of oil extraction.

For example, the aroma of peanut oil can be improved by adding hot water distillation and other treatment methods during oil pressing, but the aroma of peanut oil will be weak without any treatment.

6, Storage conditions.

Storage conditions are also one of the important factors that affect the aroma of peanut oil. If storage conditions are improper, such as storage in high temperature and humid environment, peanut oil is prone to oxidation and deterioration, thus affecting its aroma.

To sum up, the aroma of peanut oil produced by peanut oil press is influenced by many factors. In the production process of peanut oil, we must pay attention to all the factors that affect the aroma of peanut oil, so as to produce high-quality and fragrant peanut oil.
