What is salad oil?
1, salad oil is a kind of vegetable oil, which is a high-grade vegetable oil obtained by degumming, degreasing and decoloring vegetable oil through various processes. It is mainly used as raw oil for cold salad or sauce and seasoning. Salad oil can also be subdivided into soybean salad oil, peanut salad oil, sunflower seed salad oil and so on.

2. Salad oil is also called salad oil and cold salad oil. Its biggest feature is that it can be eaten raw, so it is named because it is especially suitable for western salad and cold salad. If common cooking oil is used to make cold salad, it will have a heavy greasy feeling and a sticky mouth feeling, and it is very "raw" and has the taste of various raw materials. However, cooking with salad oil has less oil smoke and a good taste, so many people like to use it.

3. The salad oil is light yellow, clear and transparent, and it can remain clear and transparent after being refrigerated at 0℃ for 5.5 hours (except peanut salad oil). Its advantages are no smell, good taste, fresh and light smell, no discoloration and no foam when heated. When used for cooking, it does not foam and smoke less, and can maintain the original color and taste of dishes. Besides cold salad, cooking and frying, salad oil is also an important raw material oil for margarine, shortening, mayonnaise and various seasoning oils.
