Peanut Oils
Refined Peanut Oil
Oil obtained from Arachis hypogaea seeds. It is rich in oleic and linoleic acids. Refining reduces odour, flavour, colour, acidity and impurities, producing a more neutral, stable and versatile oil for industrial formulations. Its main uses are in food, frying, margarines, cosmetics, massage and pharmaceutical excipients.
