Talk:Peanut oil

message: The literature mentions virgin peanut oil, crude peanut oil, and refined peanut oil. Some peanut oil has the aroma of raw peanuts, some roasted peanuts, some very little odor. The literature also mentions that there are various grades of refined oil. Does anyone know how to define these terms? When was refined oil introduced? Which is most common in grocery stores?

thread_title: Therapeutic use

message: The "Comparison of cooking fats" template gives an analysis of fats in peanut oil which adds up to 95 g, not the 100 g listed as the fat content.  The numbers come from the USDA table, but the mass of each class of fatty acid that the USDA listed have been copied into the fat column in the template.  Recognizing that fats are glyceryl triacylates and calculating the various fat contents from the various fatty acid contents yields the new numbers stated above the table, which add up to 99.4 g of fat per 100 g of peanut oil (fat).  This simple stoichiometric procedure recovers 4.4 g of the missing 5 g of fat. (Stoichiometry is taught in high-school or introductory college chemistry classes, and therefore does not qualify as original research.  However, concluding that fatty acids are the same chemicals as the fats from which they are derived, does.)  — Jay L09 (talk) 15:15, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

:"The primary fatty acids that make up peanut oil are monounsaturated or diunsaturated cis fats. This means peanut oil is more of a healthier oil.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9812923http://www.buzzle.com/articles/peanut-oil-health-benefits.html"
with the footnotes:
because the first reference denies the conclusion which appears to be presented, and because the conclusion itself is incomplete: it uses a double comparative degree without the "than [alternative]" phrase. — Jay L09 (talk) 11:45, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: These are not adverts. the first is a research paper, which doesnt specifically mention peanut oil (it should be added to the article on monounsaturated fats, perhaps) the second is simply unreliable, user generated info. I do agree with the removal.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 19:35, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The cooking oil comparison table contain redundancy compared to other written article. It also has different smoke point (eg. in rice bran oil), other source from Wikipedia said that the smoking point should be around 232 oC or 254 oC, please check cooking oil and rice bran oil.

thread_title: Inconsistent Cooking Oil Comparison Table

message: The comparison table shows a comparison of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, omega 6's, and omega 3's... but leaves out the fact that lard, butter, and other animal fats contain transfats which are much much unhealthier(and nearly impossible for the body to process) than foods with high amounts of saturated fat but no trans fats(like coconut oil).
