Rising awareness among consumers about the deteriorative effects of unhealthy, chemical-based products on the health is pushing them to opt for natural and organic products. Peanut oil is considered to be one of the healthiest cooking oils, as it is free from trans-fats and contains high levels of vitamin E and unsaturated ‘good fats’, which help control cholesterol and enhance heart health. This is one of the major reasons for health-conscious consumers to prefer peanut oil over other plant-based oils. Increasing concerns for the environment is also a factor contributing to increased preference for premium organic products such as peanut oil.

Peanut oil contains more than 80% unsaturated fatty acids (including 41.2%oleic acid and 37.6%linoleic acid). It also contains 19.9% of palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid and other unsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acid composition of peanut oil is relatively good, therefore it is easy for human bodies to digest and absorb.
The peanut is an annual herbaceous plant growing 30 to 50 cm (1.0 to 1.6 ft.) tall. The leaves are opposite, pinnate with flour leaflets (two opposite pairs; no terminal leaflet) each leaflet is 1 to 7 cm (% to 2% in) long and 1to 3 cm (% to 1 inch) across. Peanuts have high oil content (45% – 52%) compared too many other oil seed crops.
Peanut plants continue to produce flowers when pods are developing; therefore even when they are ready for harvest, some pods are immature. In order to maximize yield, the timing of harvest is important. If it is too early, too many pods will be unripe; if too late, the pods will snap off at the stalk, and will remain in the soil. For harvesting, the entire plant, including most of the roots, is removed from the soil. The pods are covered with a network of raised veins and are constricted between seeds.
Peanut oil is gaining popularity as a key ingredient in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. Crude peanut oil has a high content of vitamin D & E, and also has antioxidant properties, which makes it an excellent ingredient in soap and other skincare products. Peanut oil has a high-fat content, which makes it an excellent base for massage oils. Various cosmetic manufacturers use fortified peanut oil as an emollient in skincare and hair care products.
Cosmetic manufacturers are making appealing soaps, serums, and other products using flavoured plant-based oil with its nutrients retained. The moisturizing characteristics and anti-aging feature of high-oleic oils are the key reason for their increasing use in cosmetic products.
