Vegetable oils are extracted from various plant sources such as seeds, nuts, and fruits. They are commonly used for cooking, fuel, and industrial purposes. The key types of vegetable oils include palm, soybean, canola, and sunflower oils. Vegetable oils have different properties depending on their fatty acid composition, with coconut oil being highly saturated and canola/sunflower oils being less saturated but higher in monounsaturated fat. They are produced through pressing or solvent extraction methods and have varying smoke points for cooking.

11. Pressed oils or
Expeller Pressed
 This is where the
seeds, nuts and other
botanical sources of
the oil are pressed
under very high
pressure to produce
the oil. Depending
on the pressure used,
the oil produced will
be of varying grades.
