Groundnut or Peanut oil

 

            Peanut oil , also known as  groundnut oil  or  arachis oil , is a mild tasting  Vegetable oil  derived from  peanuts . The oil is available in refined, unrefined, cold pressed, and roasted varieties, the latter with a strong peanut flavor and aroma, analogous to  toasted sesame oil . It is often used in  Chinese ,  South Asian  and  Southeast Asian cuisine , both for general cooking, and in the case of roasted oil, for added flavor. Peanut oil has a high  smoke point  relative to many other cooking oils, so is commonly used for frying foods. Its major component fatty acids  are  oleic acid  (46.8% as olein),  linoleic acid  (33.4% as linolein), and  palmitic acid  (10.0% as palmitin).  The oil also contains some  stearic acid ,  arachidic acid ,  arachidonic acid ,  behenic acid ,  lignoceric acid  and other fatty acids.
