Cold-pressed oil refers to oil that is extracted from seeds, nuts, or other sources using a mechanical process known as cold pressing or expeller pressing. This method involves crushing or grinding the source material and applying pressure to extract the oil, without the use of heat or chemical solvents.
During cold pressing, the raw material is typically ground or crushed into a paste, which is then pressed to extract the oil. The process is conducted at a relatively low temperature, usually below 122°F (50°C), to maintain the natural properties, flavour, and nutritional profile of the oil.
Benefits of Cold Pressed Oil Powder
Cold-pressed oils offer several benefits due to the gentle extraction process and the preservation of natural polyphenols, vitamins and minerals.
Nutritional Value
Cold pressing allows for the retention of important nutrients, including essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants present in the source material. These nutrients contribute to overall health and well-being.
Rich Flavour and Aroma
Cold-pressed oils often possess a more pronounced flavour and aroma compared to oils produced using high heat or chemical extraction methods. The natural compounds responsible for these sensory characteristics are preserved, enhancing the taste and aroma of the oil in culinary applications.
Higher Antioxidant Content
Cold-pressed oils are typically richer in antioxidants, which help protect the body against oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants, such as Polyphenols and Tocopherols, contribute to the oil’s stability and potential health benefits.
Preserved Essential Fatty Acids
Essential fatty acids, such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, are vital for the body’s functioning and cannot be produced by the body itself. Cold pressing helps retain these essential fatty acids, which are important for cardiovascular health, brain function, and reducing inflammation.
Potential Health Benefits
Cold-pressed oils, with their retained nutritional profile, may offer various potential health benefits.
Suitable for Sensitive Skin
Cold-pressed oil powder can be used in skincare and cosmetic products due to their gentle and nourishing properties. These oil powders are less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, making them suitable for sensitive skin types. They can help moisturise, soothe, and protect the skin while maintaining its natural balance.
