Industry Overview
Peanut oil, also known as groundnut oil or arachis oil, is a mild-tasting vegetable oil extracted from peanuts. It is available in refined, unrefined, cold-pressed, and roasted varieties, with roasted peanut oil offering a stronger peanut flavor and aroma. Peanut oil is widely used in Chinese, South Asian, and Southeast Asian cuisines for cooking and, in the case of roasted oil, for enhancing flavor. Its relatively high smoke point makes it suitable for frying applications. The principal fatty acids in peanut oil are oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid, along with smaller quantities of stearic, arachidic, arachidonic, behenic, lignoceric, and other fatty acids. Vitamin E and other antioxidants may be used to improve the oil's shelf life. Historically, peanut oil gained importance during periods of oil shortages, including the American Civil War and World War II.

Frequently Asked Questions
Peanut oil is a vegetable oil derived from peanuts, also known as groundnuts or arachis oil. It has a mild taste and is available in refined, unrefined, cold-pressed, and roasted forms. Peanut oil is widely used in cooking, particularly in Chinese, South Asian, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Roasted peanut oil is valued for its characteristic peanut flavor and aroma, while its relatively high smoke point makes peanut oil suitable for frying and other high-temperature cooking applications.
The main fatty acids in peanut oil are oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid. The report identifies oleic acid as the major component, followed by linoleic and palmitic acids. Peanut oil also contains smaller amounts of stearic, arachidic, arachidonic, behenic, lignoceric, and other fatty acids. The exact fatty-acid composition can vary according to peanut variety, cultivation conditions, and processing method.
Cold-pressed peanut oil is produced by mechanically pressing prepared groundnuts without relying on conventional high-temperature extraction as the primary process. The report covers preparation of raw material, storage, dehulling, grading, crushing, pressing, filtration, and oil storage as part of cold-pressed groundnut oil processing. This type of oil is commonly associated with retaining the characteristic flavor and properties of the source material, although the final quality depends on raw-material quality and processing conditions.
Peanut oil manufacturing generally involves preparing and storing the raw groundnuts, followed by shelling or dehulling, grading, crushing, pressing, filtration, and storage. The report also discusses conditioning or heating where applicable, oilcake removal, oil measurement, and storage of the oilcake. The precise sequence and operating conditions depend on the selected extraction method, equipment configuration, product specification, and whether the intended product is refined, unrefined, or cold-pressed peanut oil.
Typical groundnut oil mill equipment includes machinery for decortication or dehulling, grading, crushing, oil expelling, and filtration. The report specifically covers decorticating machines, oil expellers, heating or conditioning equipment, and filter presses. Additional facilities are generally required for raw-material handling, oil storage, oilcake storage, and filling or packaging. Equipment selection should be matched to the intended production process, capacity, raw-material characteristics, product quality requirements, and plant layout.
Peanut oil is primarily used as an edible cooking oil and frying medium, while roasted peanut oil can also be used to add flavor to food. The report also discusses other potential uses, including biodiesel and use as a suspension agent. Groundnut processing generates oilcake and shells, which may have additional utilization possibilities. The suitability of peanut oil for a particular application depends on its grade, processing method, quality characteristics, and applicable product requirements.
Setting up a peanut oil mill requires consideration of raw-material availability, plant location, production process, equipment selection, plant layout, storage requirements, utilities, labour, quality control, packaging, and market access. The report includes sections covering plant location factors, principles of plant layout, production capacity, plant and machinery suppliers, raw-material suppliers, packaging suppliers, and project implementation schedules. Regulatory and food-safety requirements should also be considered when planning an edible-oil manufacturing facility.
