Cold Pressed vs Refined Oil

Fats are too complicated to subject to try and cover in a single reel, so there will be more videos on the different doubts that people have about cooking oils. This one covers one of the most common dilemmas - Cold pressed vs Refined oils
Cold pressed oils tend to be more aromatic and may include some of the beneficial antioxidant molecules from the plant source. BUT, it’s important to remember that anything that is not a fat (a triglyceride) will burn at high temperatures. If you are going to pay a lot of extra money for a cold pressed oil, you’d be wasting it using it for high temperature cooking methods like finishing tadka or deep frying (cold pressed mustard oil is an exception). On top of that, if the oil is not properly filtered, some of the non-fat plant matter will burn into not-so-healthy by-products.
This is why we refine oils. Some sources of oils like sunflower simply cannot be cold-pressed because the oil will not be suitable for human consumption without refining. Refined oils go through an elaborate filtering and chemical treatment process that removes everything other than fats. Some of these solvents (like Hexane) are not good for health, but the right question to ask is - how much of it ends up in the actual oil. FSSAI has standards for what is the maximum allowed ppm (parts per million) amount of hexane and there have been studies showing that most well-known brands of refined oil do not have statistically significant amounts of hexane in them.
Verdict: Use the right oil for the right situation. Cold-pressed for low temperature, light sauteing uses where the aroma of the oil is important to the dish. Refined oils in high temperature situations (like finishing tadka and deep frying) and where the oil needs to be neutral tasting so that the flavour of other ingredients stands out.

@krishashok this was very informative video, now I know why when I cook using cold press oil taste different! :) Also I got a question to ask, does the storage way makes any difference in quality or preservation of oil? Like plastic bags, bottles, glass or metal containers [ usually olive oil comes in]

[@krishashok]

No. Just store in any dark/cool place.

[@deus_ex_machina_]

Plastic can leach into the food over time, especially if exposed to high heat (like microwaves). Some metals can react with acidic foods like tomatoes, so I'd prefer glass containers where weight is not a concern. Olive oil and wine come in dark glass because light can break it down into unpleasant byproducts, this shouldn't be a problem if you store them in a cool, dark place as @KrishAshok mentioned.

[@summushieremiasclarkson4700]

[@BruhGuyy]

In major oil categories, cold pressed things are best. And there are a few seeds, which release aflatoxin too readily, they need to be refined but refining just takes out the major nutrients and it is the 100 percent truth. Aadha gyaan haanikarak hota hai af

[@syedaummehabiba]

What about changes in saturation of fatty acids due to heat? Does it occur and if yes then isn't the cold pressed one better?

[@krishashok]

So very high temperatures can produce a small amount of trans fatty acids in all vegetable oils. It doesn’t matter whether they are refined or not. But to be fair, you are likely getting more naturally occurring trans fats from animal fat (eggs, dairy, beef, mutton pork etc) anyway so this is not a big concern if you aren’t deep frying food every single meal and consuming a lot of it

[@syedaummehabiba]

Understood ✅

[@srijanagrawal4816]

Sorry but i would like to discuss this in detail with you sir, can u please share your email id , i am a cold pressed oil manufacturer

[@archisman_ghosh]

Changes in saturation of fatty acids do occur. Trans fatty acids start forming at 220 C and form exponentially above 240 C

[@seemaprasad6677]

Thanks. That is what I do.

[@Valkyier911]

Krish you said that high heat destroys antioxidants in oil but at the same time are ok with high heat extraction during refined oil process?? Also there are research in the west that refined seed oils are harmful compared to the cold pressed version, see Dr Eric Berg channel. Not sure why you are so confidently suggesting refined oil over traditional cold pressed? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@archisman_ghosh]

Antioxidants are added for outside during refining like BHA, BHT, TBHQ of which the first two are proven to be carcinogenic. Natural antioxidants like tocopherols and tocotrienols get lost during refining especially during deodorization process above 260 C.

I'd like to add a category between "cold pressed" and "refined": hot pressed but not refined. That's how rapeseed oil is traditionally made in the Spreewald area in Germany (southeast of Berlin). They use these seeds, roast them for giving the oil a "nutty" aroma and for easier extraction and press the seeds then. As there are many local producers there (from single-person-manufacture to industry) the oil of each of them has another color (from light yellow to an intense brown) and another taste. It's traditionally eaten with ("peeled") potatoes, creamy white cheese and onions. 😋

[@saivjay01]

This is a very tricky subject, there are many oil seeds in India, taste palate is different in different regions, for e.g. I use ground nut oil and coconut oil for cooking.. til oils during winters or cooking chettinad dishes.. refined or not is palm oil good?

As for the other oils you mentioned, petroleum isn't edible, so I wouldn't use it in food, although I wouldn't put olive oil in my car either. There's nothing especially harmful (for health) about palm oil, but the overwhelming majority is grown in Malaysia and Indonesia, where they slash and burn precious rainforests, displace indigenous people, and use indentured servants for labour. But you'll have a tough time avoiding it because its low cost and suitable properties means that it's used in numerous processed foods and other products like cosmetics.

[@avinashsunder5176]

The studies about cold pressed oil having benefits could also be funded by some interest groups 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@roneymathew13]

Sir please make a video about frozen food, especially meat

[@krishashok]

already posted one about frozen food

[@MeriAwaazhi]

Fact is , we listen what we want to n we can only share what is best to our understanding. Refined or Pure no difference. Wooo 😮

Why is mustard oil banned in USA by USFDA? Is it safe to consume mustard oil? Please quote some Indian researchs if possible. Myths vs Facts please.

[@krishashok]

It's banned more for economic reasons than scientific. Some very inconclusive rat studies in the 1970-80s showed erucic acid (present in mustard oil) as being bad for health and they banned it in favour of a genetically modified version of rapeseed (similar to mustard) from Canada (rebranded as Canola since rapeseed had branding problems), and since then, we know that mustard oil is quite safe given its wide use in south asia but canola oil just has too much lobbying power so the ban stays

[@abhi00sachan]

Have you used both for same purposes, compared your health after consuming both separately for a period of time. Why we always need studies to tell what is right and what is wrong. Do a study yourself and come to conclusions. My personal conclusion is, Best is ghee, then cold pressed oils and then refined.

[@praveenojindal]

i think you are missing omega 3 vs omega 6 oils debate. some how refined oils are leading to worser health.

[@_yuri]

Just use ghee for cooking goated fat. Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling.

[@krishashok]

Not always practical or affordable.

[@godlyrides]

No, don’t use seed oils

[@a_m4608]

Thanks for busting one myth at a time. Where were you all this time?

[@rahulshaw3120]

Guys, cold pressed oils holds natural nutrients, our body uses them to break down nutrients and digest the oils and convert them to saturated fats while refined oils are light and holds no nutrients which means when it goes to the body it just acts as an overhead beacuse it cant break them so they deposit as fats rather unsaturated fats which acts as garbage for our body, our body understands the language of nutrients it does not require any sort of oil, veggies or cereal it is only bothered about vitamins, proteins, saturated fats,good cholesterol, fibres, minerals all these catalysts are required for blood and cell formation which contributes to our healthy metabolism and increase your productivity in the long run.

[@kumbakonam7176]

I use only cold press oil good for health mapu

[@Sumitcools87]

It's always better to use something in next possible nature form. Cold press oils are always better than refined one.

[@shahryar1673]

Oils are refined to extract the maximum juice out of them by profit hungry MNCs. Our well learned sir here conveniently ignores this information

[@krishashok]

I appreciate your confidence in making this completely presumptuous generalization :) Not sure you cook, but you might want to read up on shelf life and smoke point of cooking oils

[@arangarasa]

Refined oils can be unhealthy because they are high in unhealthy fats, such as trans fats and saturated fats, and calories. Refining involves altering the oil with chemicals, such as acid, alkali, bleaching, neutralization, filtering, and deodorizing. These procedures can reduce the oil's chlorophyll content, taste, and nutrients. This can lead to an increased risk of oxidation, which can create harmful compounds that damage cells and tissues. Refined oils can also increase bad LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin levels.

[@manimew]

What were people using worldwide when there were no refined oils? Were they not frying stuff? Kuch bhi bolta hai....

[@SyncWithSrikanth]

Ashok: "Don't burn at high at temperatures" Everyone: But that's what we do.

[@srikanthg_in]

Mineral oils are sold as Refined oils. That is the problem.

[@sagswe]

Bad info with very good quality english. This misleads viewer to think refined oils from supermarkets are good. Cooking with refined oils which are available in indian supermarkets is the worst thing u can do to your body. even worse than eating sugar. The author should look into how health has rapidly deteriorated in india over the last 2-3 decades. heart health, throid health, diabetes etc.. . i request the author to research top 3 factors for such decline. and a video on that would be nicer.

[@krishashok]

Would you happen to have meta-RCTs that positively establish the causative connection between refined oils and heart health in India, or is it a case "trust me bro"? In general, I think the public should go with scientific evidence and not gut feelings about what single villain of the day is the cause of all our problems. Excess fat consumption of course is a problem (and that is called out in the video) but to then say that only refined oils are the problem but not unrefined oils is just speculation without evidence

[@deepblue3682]

So cold press oil, good for dressing salads... refined oil good for frying, sorting

[@bestever1505]

Indian cooking conditions subject oil to very high temperatures, like in deep frying during which the oil temperatures can go above 170 °C. It has been demonstrated that refined oils with high PUFA, can degrade easily to toxic components like free radicals, transfats, melondialdehyde (MDA), etc., which are potentially mutagenic and atherogenic.Repeated frying of the oil can further damage the oil and produce more toxic components that are highly harmful to the heart. Refined oils are purified oils from oil cakes using highly intense mechanical and chemical (solvent extraction) processes to extract the oil from the seeds and vegetables products. The crushed seeds are heated repeatedly to high temperatures up to 270 °C in a steam bath for deodorization and to start the oil extraction process. These high temperatures can result in loss of antioxidants (like tocopherols) and sterols, produce free radicals and TFA, and polymeric components, which are potentially atherogenic and mutagenic.

Who sponsored video???

[@krishashok]

unfortunately no one. But if you want to sponsor, I'm open 🤣

[@tobykd2022]

REFINED= TOXIC= OVER TIME = ARTHITIS
