  • What are edible oils used for?
  • Applications: Edible oils are consumed, directly or indirectly, as food ingredients. They are mainly used for cooking including sautéing, frying and baking. They can also be consumed directly (like flavouring) without any culinary processing; however, in limited amount.
  • Are edible oils healthy?
  • Nutritional value: Edible oils must be rich in nutrition; ideally such oils should be digestible, rich in caloric value and free from unsaturated fat. Most edible oils are actually healthy fat and don’t contain any toxic component like lectin that can pose a risk on human health.
  • What is the difference between edible and non-edible oils?
  • These are based on vegetable sources (oilseed grains and plant fruits). These can be vegetable oils, petroleum oils or animal fat. Edible oils are mainly used for direct human consumption as food intake. Edible oils contain various nutritional elements and thus are healthy and hygienic. Non-edible oils may not necessarily be healthy and hygienic.
  • What are edible oils derived from plants?
  • Edible oils derived from plants are commonly known as cooking or vegetable oils. They include seed oils, which are extracted from the seeds of different plants. Common examples include canola, corn, soybean, sunflower, and safflower oils.
  • Are all vegetable oils edible?
  • Thus their sources are predominantly organic; for example seeds of groundnut, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, linseed, safflower, peanut, etc. Oil extracted from tree fruits or seeds like palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, etc. are also edible. All vegetable oils are not edible; some vegetable oils have low demand as food source.
