Extraction And Determination Of Smoke Point, Flash Point, And Fire Pint Of Groundnut Oil (unrefined)

ABSTRACTThe aim of this work was to extract oil from groundnut using small kitchen utensil (traditional method) and determine the temperature at which an unrefined oil smoke flash light (discontinuous, combustion) and fire point (continuous combustion) and compared with the results published online.  To achieve this, fresh groundnut was purchased from the market and processed to obtained roasted groundnut, the roasted peanut was milled into paste with addition small amount of warm water and pressed to extract the oil, the smoke point flash point and fire point of the extracted oil was determin…
