What are the benefits of peanut oil, and what is the market price per jin?

Peanut oil, pale yellow and transparent, bright in color, fragrant in smell, and pleasant in taste, is a kind of cooking oil that is relatively easy to digest. So many families like to use it for stir-frying. But do you know what benefits it has? And how much does it cost per jin on the market? It is understood that peanut oil has the benefit of lowering the cholesterol content in blood plasma, and because there are many brands on the market, the prices also differ slightly.

1. What benefits peanut oil has

1. Peanut oil contains more than 80% unsaturated fatty acids (including 41.2% oleic acid and 37.6% linoleic acid).

2. It contains 19.9% saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, and arachidic acid. The fatty acid composition of peanut oil is relatively good and is easy for the human body to digest and absorb. According to foreign data, using peanut oil can cause cholesterol in the human body to decompose into bile acids and be excreted, thereby lowering the cholesterol content in blood plasma.

3. Peanut oil also contains sterols, wheat germ phenol, phospholipids, vitamin E, choline, and other substances beneficial to the human body.

4. Regularly eating peanut oil can prevent skin cracking and aging, protect blood vessel walls, prevent thrombosis, and help prevent arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

5. The choline in peanut oil can also improve human brain memory and delay the decline of brain function.

Appendix: Storage methods for peanut oil

1. Temperature: Store peanut oil at a temperature below 15°C in a filled, sealed container; otherwise lipase and oxygen will act on the oil, resulting in increased acid value and peroxide value. To meet this oil storage condition, the reserve oil depot should be built underground. This is because at a ground temperature below 4 m, the year-round temperature is below 20°C.

2. For peanut oil stored long term, 0.2% citric acid or ascorbic acid can be added to destroy the catalytic effect of metal ions and extend the storage period. Foreign exported oils all add such substances, and some also add antioxidants (such as BHA, BHT, PG, etc.)
