FAQ

  • What is the basis for Prime crude peanut oil?
  • Basis for prime crude peanut oil: must refine to a red color of 10 (AOCS) and with a loss of weight below 12%, with moisture and insolubles less than 1%. Settlements are made in accordance with rule 201 which provides discounts for oil not meeting prime crude (off color, refining loss, free fatty acids).
  • Should trait-modified peanut oil be commercialized?
  • Over the past several decades trait-modified peanut oils (high oleic acid) have been developed to enhance use in both food and industrial applications. The marked improvement in oxidative stability offered by high oleic peanuts and oil should stimulate commercialization.
  • Do you need a centrifuge for peanut oil refining?
  • It is common to use a day tank holding enough oil for one day refining needs and also allows analysis of the crude needed for the lot of oil (color, free fatty acids, and gums). Part B shows the refining sequence. As peanut oil is not degummed, a centrifuge for separation of gums is not needed.
  • What is prime yellow peanut oil?
  • Prime yellow peanut oil must be free of visible foreign material, clear, sweet in flavor, and odor, colorless than 5, less than 0.25% free fatty acids, and 0.1% or less moisture and volatile matter. Good off-yellow peanut oil may be off in flavor and odor but must meet other requirements for prime yellow.
  • Where does peanut oil come from?
  • Peanut (groundnut, earth nut) oil production worldwide was about 5.4 million metric tons (MMT) in 2012/2013 and has remained fairly static over the past decade ( USDA, FAS, 2014 ). Worldwide, peanut seed production amounts to about 37 MMT primarily from China, India, US, Nigeria, and Indonesia with the remainder 15% from 15 other countries.
  • How much oil is in peanut oil?
  • Peanuts (9.6% moisture), coming into the mill from truck loaders yielded 73% kernels, 38.8% oil, and about 6% residual oil. Samples from two tank cars of oil showed: free fatty acids, 1.6–2.2%; refining loss (cup), 5.2–5.4%; colors 35 yellow, 2.1 to 2 red.
