Shopping websites search for household oil extraction equipment, and thousands of relevant information come into view, and sales are uneven. Since the beginning of household oil pressing equipment, businesses have been using the slogan of "self-pressing, green, and healthy", but is it really healthy to press oil from household oil presses? In the eyes of manufacturers of complete sets of oil pressing equipment, what is a "household oil press"? The so-called "green and healthy" propaganda of household oil extraction equipment is only a false fraud in the eyes of complete sets of oil equipment manufacturers. The world is bustling for profit, why don't the leading small household appliance companies Gree and Midea have household oil press products? Because the self-pressed oil of household oil presses has food safety hazards;


Handmade ones aren't necessarily all good
First, the oil of self-pressed oil is often purchased by ourselves in supermarkets or online, and the quality of these oil crops cannot be scientifically screened and distinguished, so the quality of oil products cannot be guaranteed. Simple pressed oil is called vegetable oil crude oil, crude oil contains a lot of impurities that cannot be used directly, there may be residual pesticides, heavy metal pollution and other problems and contain harmful substances. For example, gossypol is contained in wool cotton oil, and patients with chronic gossypol poisoning often have fever, weakness of limbs, decreased appetite, and even loss of ability to work; Gossypol can inhibit spermatogenesis in men, leading to male infertility; Hairy peanut oil and hairy corn oil contain aflatoxin, which is a strong carcinogen, and the allowable content in refined oil is 20 micrograms per kilogram of edible oil, while the allowable content in unrefined peanut oil can be as high as 600 micrograms; Rapeseed oil contains high amounts of erucic acid and glucosinolates, which have the potential to aggravate the condition in people with cardiovascular disease and may also cause goiter; Rice bran oil and sunflower oil contain about 2% indigestible wax; soybean oil and vegetable oil contain 1%~3% phospholipids; After reading these, do you still dare to eat self-pressed oil from household oil presses?

Among urban residents, there are very few people who directly consume crude oil, but it is quite common among rural residents, which will directly endanger their health.


Second, consumers want to eat safely, pay attention to health is right, the business uses the consumer "handmade, must be good" psychology, to sell household oil presses, the latest version of the national edible oil standards introduced, clearly stipulates that edible oil to go through dephosphorization, deacidification, degumming, decolorization, deodorization, dewaxing and other "six de-" processes to remove the residual impurities of crude oil, the harmful substances of the oil itself, to meet the national standards before the normal exile market, However, home oil extraction cannot guarantee that these processes are carried out one by one, and therefore the quality of the oil cannot be guaranteed.
