What is difference between Cold Pressed and Hot Pressed Oil?

Production Method

The first difference between the two types of oil is the way they are made. In cold pressing, oil is extracted at room temperature, at around 30 degrees centigrade, and the acid value is relatively low, so oil products are obtained after precipitation and filtration. This means that there is no need for any refinement. Hot pressing involves extracting oil at high temperatures, and because the acid value rises significantly, it loses most of its natural quality.

Composition

Cold pressed oil retains most of its natural physiological and chemical properties and most importantly its original taste. Unlike cold pressed oil, hot pressed oil retains little of its natural composition. The high temperatures not only change the chemical structure of oil, but in the process, a lot of important substances like vitamin E, sterols, and carotenoids are lost. The antioxidants present in Groundnut Oil are its greatest assets, if extracted with use of heat, these antioxidants may be damaged. Cold Pressed Oil, on the other hand retains them.

From a health perspective, cold pressed oil is the clear winner. Hot pressed oils undergo oxidization, which can cause health complications. Moreover, a lot of healthy compounds are lost from the oils while hot pressing, whereas in cold pressing, all beneficial compounds are retained. Another important factor that makes cold pressed oils a better choice is that it involves no refinement, unlike hot pressed oils which are refined to reduce acidic content.
