Process:
Unrefined oils are pressed once and undergo no further process or are heated at low-temperature conditions compared to refined oils.Unrefined oil is minimally processed, it is extracted using traditional methods from machinery which is also filtered to remove impurities, but it does not undergo further refining processes. Unrefined oils do not involve bleaching, deodorizing, or high-temperature processing. Oils like peanuts, coconut, sesame oil, sunflower oil, etc are gaining popularity due to their natural properties compared to refined oil.
Characteristics:
– Retains most of its natural nutrients, flavor, and aroma.
– May contain small amounts of sediment or particles because it is not heavily filtered.
– Often has a shorter shelf life compared to refined oils due to the presence of natural compounds that can oxidize.
Uses:
– Like cold-pressed oils, unrefined oils are typically used in applications where their natural flavor can be appreciated.
– Suitable for low to medium-heat cooking but not ideal for high-heat cooking due to the risk of burning and producing off-flavors.
