• Peanut oil is becoming popular among health-conscious consumers with the growing need of healthier oil due to its high concentration of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that help decrease cholesterol and enhance heart health. According to the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH (NIH), peanut oil is a rich source of dietary essential fatty acids including oleic acids (36% to 67%) and linoleic acids (15% to 46%), and O/L ratios are in the range of 1.19–4.46 (Akram et al., 2018). The previous studies have shown that O/L is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and linoleic acid has a positive influence on coronary heart disease. This change is a part of a larger trend where people are choosing healthier cooking oils over conventional ones that are heavy in saturated fats. Furthermore, peanut oil's antioxidant content, which includes vitamin E, makes it more appealing as it supports cellular defense and skin health. Growing public awareness about the advantages of eating a better diet has led to a rising demand for peanut oil owing to its health benefits and capacity to improve food flavor without sacrificing nutritional content.
• Additionally, the growth in culinary applications like deep-frying and sautéing are two of the most popular uses for peanut oil due to its neutral flavor and high smoke point. As per the Peanut Institute, due to its many benefits, advantages, and nutritional value, peanut oil is recommended to cook and fry. The 2020 US Dietary Guidelines recommend that fat intake should emphasize monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, such as those found in seafood, nuts, seeds, and oils. As a result, both professional cooks and home kitchens are using peanut oil more frequently. It is essential to obtaining the genuine flavor and texture of traditional meals in culinary hotspots, particularly in Asian and Southern American cuisines. The demand for peanut oil is being further driven by the trend toward international cuisine and creative cookery, as consumers try to recreate these recipes at home.
• There is a growing trend toward sustainable and organic food products, which includes cooking oils. Organic peanut oil, produced without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, is becoming more popular as part of this trend. According to the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM), the oil from the organic groundnut (peanut) seeds is proven to be an excellent source of vitamin E, various fatty acids, good quality proteins (approx. 28%) and carbohydrates. Peanut oil extraction method is also known as leaching method, that employs organic solvent to dissolve fats, spray and immerse the oil-bearing materials in order to eventually separate the fat from material. Additionally, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on sustainable practices in the cultivation and production of peanut oil to meet consumer demand for environment-friendly products. This includes using less water and energy during production and adopting practices that reduce carbon footprints. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, the demand for oils that are both healthy and produced sustainably is likely to increase, providing significant growth opportunities for producers of organic and sustainably produced peanut oil.
