Description

Avocado oil Avocado oil is pressed from the fruit of the Persea americana (avocado). It is used for lubrication and in cosmetics, where it is valued for its supposed regenerative and moisturizing properties.[1] It has an unusually high smoke point, both unrefined and especially when refined. The smoke point of the unrefined form is 480 °F (249 °C) and the refined form can reach 520 °F (271 °C).[2] The exact smoke point depends heavily on the quality of refinement and the way the oil has been handled until reaching store shelves and subsequent kitchens.Vegetable oils

Values as percent (%) by weight of total fat. ManufacturingA centrifuge is suitable for manufacturing avocado oil. The industrial centrifuge separates the avocado pulp into the fruit flesh, oil and water phases. Following this, the separator refines the oil phase and removes ultrafine impurities. This process is gentle to the product and is appropriate for producing the highest grade of avocado oil. Processing with the Tricanter leads to a high yield, clear avocado oil and maximum product quality.[13]
