🔥 What Happens to Oil at 250°C?
Sounds shocking, right?
But yes — during refining, oil is heated to around 250°C.
So what actually happens? Let’s break it down 👇
🧪 Why is oil heated so much?
During a step called deodorization, oil is heated with steam to:
👃 Remove natural smell
🧼 Clean unwanted substances
🫙 Increase shelf life (lasts longer in packet)
✅ What you get finally:
* No strong smell
* Same taste every time
* Longer storage life
⚠️ But here’s the catch:
When oil is heated at such high temperatures,
its natural smell, taste, and character are reduced.
👉 It becomes more “processed” and neutral.
💡 Important:
This is not about good or bad —
it’s about understanding how your oil is made.
🧠 The real key is awareness, not confusion.
