What do we need to pay attention to the oil squeezed out by the oil press
After my own test, it feels pretty good. Due to aflatoxins, most people still worry about the safety of household oil presses. In addition to aflatoxins, there are people who worry about the shelf life. In fact, these can be assured.
Conditions for aflatoxin production
One is the raw materials for oil extraction. For example, if peanuts are moldy, aflatoxins will be produced when the oil is pressed. This has nothing to do with whether it is a household oil press. On the contrary, the household oil press can choose the raw materials by itself, which can effectively control this material. This is where the advantages of household oil presses compare to those of edible oil and oil mills and some private oil presses.
The other is whether the household oil press is clean or not. This also depends on your own control. At the same time, you should buy a clean, convenient and efficient household oil press and control the cleanliness yourself. Judging from the process of using DODOBO to press oil, for household oil presses, as long as the oil is pressed and kept clean once every two weeks, there will be no safety problems. Therefore, it is not recommended to keep the oil of household oil presses for more than half a month. It will be better once every two weeks.
About the shelf life of oil
Self-squeezed oil is more secure because the raw materials are guaranteed and there are no additives. The natural oil fragrance of the freshly squeezed oil is also different from that of the refined oil. The deterioration of edible oil is mainly caused by the oxidation of oil, and the shelf life has a lot to do with the preservation method. First of all, you must use glass or ceramic containers to squeeze the oil. Avoid using plastic bottles. Avoid light as much as possible. Store it in a cool place. It will not deteriorate after eating within half a month. If stored properly, the shelf life can be extended appropriately. The sediment below can be used as a sauce for cooking, or not, depending on personal preference. In addition, the amount of oil squeezed each time depends on the consumption of each family. According to the number of family members, the composition, the frequency of cooking, and how many times the oil is squeezed, you will understand by yourself. Even if you squeeze more occasionally, share it with Relatives and friends are also good intentions.
Regarding the safety of your own oil extraction
I use a family oil press to press the oil myself, I think there is no problem if you do two things.
First, the oil press is cleaned every time it is used up, which is to maintain hygienic production conditions.
The second is to control the selection of oil, which is to control the quality of raw materials.
Generally, when these two points are in place, the oil will naturally be no problem.
Summarize
Squeezing oil by myself is not as troublesome as I thought, one-button start, fully automatic operation, and I only need to be responsible for feeding and cleaning. A small amount of oil squeezed 1-2 times a month is relatively easy to control in terms of raw materials. There is no need to worry about safety issues such as mildew. The oil varieties can also be turned over. The quality of the oil can be regarded as excellent. The natural oil fragrance is very attractive. Although the shelf life is shorter, you can rest assured that if you have children and the elderly, you can squeeze some oil yourself. It is also a good choice if you give one as a gift to your parents, or friends who have higher requirements for the quality of life.
