Production & description

Peanut oil refined Ph. Eur. is obtained from the shelled seeds of Arachis hypogaea L. by pressing and extraction of the previously crushed, heat-treated and flaked peanuts. The oil is then gently refined.

A clear, yellowish, viscous liquid. Very slightly soluble in ethanol (96%); miscible with light petroleum. It solidifies at about 2°C.

Gustav Heess

The production of our refined peanut oil begins in the peanut fields. The plants, including the peanuts growing underground, are pulled out of the ground using special harvesting machines. The peanuts are then laid out to dry for 2 to 4 weeks to reduce their water content from 40 to around 7 to 5 percent, which extends their shelf life and prevents mold growth. To optimize the pressing performance, the peanut kernels obtained after dehulling are flaked and then processed further in the expeller press. The resulting raw peanut oil then undergoes a refining process, is filtered several times and undergoes a final quality test in the laboratory to guarantee a high-purity peanut oil.

Our refined peanut oil meets the standards of the European Pharmacopoeia and is continuously monitored for the highest quality through a special test plan. By establishing diversified supply chains with different seed origins and locations for oil mills and refineries, we ensure a high level of supply security, even in the event of local incidents such as extreme weather conditions.

Although peanut oil is versatile, it is not suitable for everyone as peanuts contain allergens that often lead to food-related allergic reactions. However, refining removes the allergy-causing peanut allergens, making the oil suitable for people with allergies.

Sustainability & responsibility

We audit our producers regularly and pay attention not only to compliance with the agreed high quality requirements, but also to the way we treat our employees and the impact on the environment. Our producers regularly prepare sustainability reports and document the careful use of resources in detail. In doing so, not only the European oil production (oil mill and refinery) is considered, but also the entire supply chain including the countries where our high-quality peanuts are grown.
