QUICK LINKS
Peanut oil is extensively used in research focused on food science and nutrition due to its composition of fatty acids and stability when heated. Studies often examine peanut oil′s oxidative stability, which makes it a suitable medium for frying and cooking at high temperatures, and its effects on the sensory qualities of food. In the field of material science, peanut oil is investigated for its potential use as a bio-based raw material in the production of biodegradable polymers and lubricants. Environmental scientists also explore the conversion of peanut oil into biodiesel as a renewable energy source, analyzing its fuel properties and combustion efficiency. Moreover, peanut oil′s triglyceride content is of interest in enzymology, where it is used to study the specificity and kinetics of lipases, enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of fats.
