Product Description

Edible oil can be extracted from plants (e.g., soybean, canola); seeds (e.g., sesame, sunflower); nuts (e.g., walnut, macadamia); and fruits (e.g., palm, olive, coconut). Depending on the type of oil, it can be used in baking and frying food and for noncooking products such as salad dressing, margarine spreads, and dips.

Vegetable oil is a collective term for a whole range of different oils used unprocessed or as a constituent in countless foods and other products. A variety of raw materials therefore come into consideration for its production.
