Classification Method for Avocado Oil

Tags : 

Avocado oil has become common in kitchens around the world, renowned for its rich health benefits and wide applicability in cooking. On the shelves of supermarkets, different types of avocado oil attract the attention of consumers with their diverse packaging and labels, such as “extra virgin avocado oil”, “virgin avocado oil” and “pure avocado oil” and other names frequently appear. If you purchase avocado oil in bulk, you may come across a producer offering significant differences in price regarding “extra virgin avocado oil” versus “crude avocado oil”. What are the core differences between them? Let’s take a deep dive into the world of avocado oil and learn the difference between regular avocado oil and extra virgin avocado oil.

Since avocado oil lacks universally defined quality parameters, people usually use the recommended values for olive oil as a reference. The quality standards for olive oil can be found in the Codex Alimentarius and the International Olive Council’s regulations.

Actually, a classification method for avocado oil can be developed based on its extraction method and fruit quality.

Avocado Oil Classification: Extra virgin avocado oil
Definition Method: Avocado oil of a higher quality, “extra virgin”, corresponds to that produced from high-quality fruit, extracted only with mechanical methods, using a temperature below 50 °C and without the use of chemical solvents.

Avocado Oil Classification: Virgin avocado oil
Definition Method: “Virgin” avocado oil is produced with fruit of a lower quality (with small areas of rot and physical alterations), extracted by mechanical methods, using a temperature below 50 ° C and without the use of chemical solvents.

Avocado Oil Classification: Pure avocado oil
Definition Method: “Pure” avocado oil is a type of oil for the production of which the quality of the fruit is not important; it is a bleached and deodorized oil, infused with the natural flavor of herbs or fruits. “Pure” edible avocado oil is a product with at least 98.5% refined avocado oil.

Avocado Oil Classification: Mixed avocado oil
Definition Method: “Mixed” avocado oil is combined with olive, macadamia, and other oils. Therefore, it presents sensory and chemical characteristics that are variable.

Avocado Oil Classification: Crude avocado oil
Definition Method: The “crude oil of avocado” is a slightly amber-colored fatty liquid, obtained by physical extraction of the avocado pulp and the seed of the avocado fruits.

In actual trade activities, avocado oil can be classified according to different levels of free fatty acid content. (% m/m expressed in oleic acid)

Extra virgin avocado oil ≤ 0.8
Virgin avocado oil ≤ 2
Ordinary virgin avocado oil ≤ 3.3
Pure avocado oil ≤ 1.03
Refined avocado oil ≤ 0.3
Crude avocado oil: no limit

It is imperative to discuss the extraction methods of avocado oil: refining and physical pressing. Refined avocado oil is commonly refined, involving processes like filtering and deodorization, resulting in a neutral- flavored oil with a higher smoke point. Extra virgin avocado oil undergoes physical pressing, a cold processing technique that preserves the fruit’s natural flavors and nutrients by pressing the avocado oil at low temperatures. This gentle extraction method yields an oil with a distinct flavor profile and lower smoke point.

As a technology and equipment supplier, SIMEC focus on the extraction method of extra virgin avocado oil. Adopting SIMEC physical pressing method, there’s no heating for the avocado pulp and no temperature rise during the cold extraction process of avocado oil. The quality of avocado oil can achieve the procurement standard in cosmetic and food industries.

Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Avocado Oil Composition:

Fatty Acid Content
Monounsaturates (oleic and palmitoleic acids) 76%
Polyunsaturates (linoleic and linolenic acids) 12%
Saturates (palmitic and stearic acids) 12%
Non-lipid Nutrients Content
α-tocopherol 70-190 mg/kg oil
Chlorophylls 11-19 mg/kg oil
Carotenoid (lutein) 0.5-3.3 mg/kg oil
Phytosterols (b-sitosterol being the main sterol present) 2.23-4.48 mg/g oil

 

Almost 70% of cold-pressed avocado oil consists of heart-healthy oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. Additionally, around 12% of avocado oil is saturated fat and about 13% is polyunsaturated fat.

Based on its fatty acid makeup and the presence of these phytochemicals, extra virgin cold-pressed avocado oil is considered to be a healthful oil. It is highly versatile and easy to incorporate into your diet.

For example, it can be consumed cold, but it’s also a safe and healthy cooking oil because its fatty acids are stable at high heat.

 

It has been proved the cold-pressed extra virgin avocado oil contains but not limited to the following benefits to our body:

I. Reduces Cholesterol and Improves Heart Health

It has been proven that cold-pressed avocado oil has beneficial effects on heart health, including the reduction of blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels.

What’s more, the oil was found to be the most effective in increasing HDL, the “good” cholesterol. It also may reduce blood triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels, as well as lower blood pressure.

II. High in Lutein, an Antioxidant That has Benefits for The Eyes

Cold-pressed avocado oil is a relatively good source of lutein, a carotenoid that functions as an antioxidant that is beneficial for eye health.

Eating plenty of lutein may reduce the risk of age-related cataracts and macular degeneration.

Our body doesn’t produce lutein, so we must obtain it from our diet.

III. Help Prevent Gum Disease

Some evidence suggests that avocado unsaponifiables may also help prevent periodontal disease, also called gum disease.

According to a study in bone cells and periodontal tissue, avocado unsaponifiables may block a protein called IL1B.

This protein promotes inflammation and is the main driver of tissue destruction and bone loss in gum disease.

IV. Reduce Symptoms of Arthritis

Numerous studies have found that unsaponifiables in cold-pressed avocado oil, may reduce the pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis. It seems to be especially beneficial for people who have hip and knee osteoarthritis.

V. Neutralizes Free Radicals

High levels of free radicals (waste products of metabolism) may contribute to diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Antioxidants contained in extra-virgin avocado oil can enter cell mitochondria and decrease the production of harmful free radicals.

VI. Enhances the Absorption of Important Nutrients

Some nutrients need fat to be absorbed by our bodies. Among these are the carotenoid antioxidants, found in many plant foods. However, fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids are typically low in fat.

It’s found that adding cold-pressed avocado oil when eating vegetables, it can increase the absorption of carotenoid antioxidants up to 17 times.

 

The benefits of extra virgin avocado oil on the human body are not only reflected in internal use, the external use of avocado oil is also beneficial. The following characteristics make extra virgin avocado oil an important ingredient for cosmetic production:
