Refined Oils

Refined Oils are extracted from clean oilseed / oil cakes by solvent extraction for further refining to produce clear oil, free from rancidity and foreign matter. These oils are used as medium cooking oils (225°F - 350°F), high cooking oils (350°F - 450°F), and deep-frying oils (greater than 450°F).

Rancid Oil

Rancid oil has an unpleasant aroma and acrid taste, and its nutrients are greatly diminished.
