  • Can peanut oil be rejected?
  • Crude oil with a flash point below 2500 °F (1371 °C) is rejectable. Peanut oil subjected to the Halphen test showing a color above that of an oil known to contain 0.5% cottonseed oil may be rejected as sample grade. Refined peanut oil is covered under rule 185.
  • How much oil does a ton of shelled peanuts produce?
  • A ton of shelled peanuts increased oil yield to 100–115 gallons and 1100–1200 pounds of cake at 40–50% protein. Data (Dean and Sanders, 2009) on the oil content of 108 peanut cultivars grown in Tifton, Georgia, indicate a maximum of 47.8% oil and a mean of 44.2% oil.
  • Does France use peanut oil as a frying fat?
  • Peanut oil is very popular in France as a frying fat (Lesieur, 1976). However, French laws forbid the use of frying oil with more than 5% linolenic acid which includes soybean oil. The EU28 countries import many of their oil needs. French officials requested that a study of peanut/soybean oil blends be undertaken (Cowan et al., 1971).
  • How much oil does a peanut have?
  • Data (Dean and Sanders, 2009) on the oil content of 108 peanut cultivars grown in Tifton, Georgia, indicate a maximum of 47.8% oil and a mean of 44.2% oil. Jamieson (1922) was the first to report fatty acid compositional data by grouping saturated acids and unsaturated acids separately.
  • Are peanuts oil based?
  • Peanuts are a relatively high-oil oilseed (with about 50% oil) and the meal after expelling contains about 6–7% oil. Generally the choice peanuts are used as confections (salted whole, in-shell). Lower grade peanuts are crushed for oil and meal. Peanuts like other crops are subject to contamination from aflatoxins.
