Must Know Facts about the Edible Oil in current Indian market

This particular section speaks about the various kinds/types of oils based on the extraction and refining process, oil adulteration, adverse health effects by using adulterated oils and more.

1. Chemical Treated Hot Pressed Oils( Refined Oils) - In this scenario various grades of any particular type of oil seeds are processed under very high temperature ( Up to 600 Degree celcius and beyond) and are chemically treated to separate the oil from its residue elements and also to increase the shelf life of the oil.

• • The Highest Temperate drains all the nutrients from the oil and makes it useless for regular consumption.
  • The added chemicals makes the oil dangerous to consume, impacts severely on health and are inorganic.

2. white oil/paraffin adulterated oils  - It is said to be that the petrolium bi products and its waste called as white oil/paraffin are added to the oil  in very large proportion and then treated/flavoured with set of chemicals in order to smell/taste as the actual vegetable ( Seeds) oils. This type of oil is the most dangerous and very largely adulterated and people consuming it will be prone to life threatening diseases.

3. Ancient/Traditional Extraction Process ( Most preferred) - The oils are extracted at room temperate without adding artificial temperature and are never treated by any kinds of chemical in order to refine or increase the shelf life of it. The oils are extracted naturally just by crushing the seeds and the oil extracted will be pure in its virgin state, the refining happens by itself when the oil is allowed to settle down the residue elements in the bottom of the tank/oil storing container.
