List of vegetable oils

Vegetable oils are triglycerides extracted from plants. Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia.^[1] Edible vegetable oils are used in food, both in cooking and as supplements. Many oils, edible and otherwise, are burned as fuel, such as in oil lamps and as a substitute for petroleum-based fuels. Some of the many other uses include wood finishing, oil painting, and skin care.

There are several types of plant oils, distinguished by the method used to extract the oil from the plant. The relevant part of the plant may be placed under pressure to extract the oil, giving an expressed (or pressed) oil. The oils included in this list are of this type. Oils may also be extracted from plants by dissolving parts of plants in water or another solvent. The solution may be separated from the plant material and concentrated, giving an extracted or leached oil. The mixture may also be separated by distilling the oil away from the plant material. Oils extracted by this latter method are called essential oils. Essential oils often have different properties and uses than pressed or leached vegetable oils. Finally, macerated oils are made by infusing parts of plants in a base oil, a process called liquid-liquid extraction.

The term "vegetable oil" can be narrowly defined as referring only to substances that are liquid at room temperature,^[2] or broadly defined without regard to a substance's state of matter at a given temperature.^[3] While a large majority of the entries in this list fit the narrower of these definitions, some do not qualify as vegetable oils according to all understandings of the term.

Although most plants contain some oil, only the oil from certain major oil crops^[4] complemented by a few dozen minor oil crops^[5] is widely used and traded.

Vegetable oils can be classified in several ways, for example:

• By source: most, but not all vegetable oils are extracted from the fruits or seeds of plants, and the oils may be classified by grouping oils from similar plants, such as "nut oils".
• By use: as described above, oils from plants are used in cooking, for fuel, for cosmetics, for medical purposes, and for other industrial purposes.

The vegetable oils are grouped below in common classes of use.

Edible oils

Major oils

Sunflowers, the seeds of which are the source of sunflower oil.

These oils make up a significant fraction of worldwide edible oil production. All are also used as fuel oils.

• Coconut oil, a cooking oil, with medical and industrial applications as well. Extracted from the kernel or meat of the fruit of the coconut palm. Common in the tropics, and unusual in composition, with medium chain fatty acids dominant.^[6]
• Corn oil, one of the principal oils sold as salad and cooking oil.^[7]
• Cottonseed oil, used as a salad and cooking oil, both domestically and industrially.^[8]
• Olive oil, used in cooking, cosmetics, soaps, and as a fuel for traditional oil lamps.^[9]
• Palm oil, the most widely produced tropical oil.^[10] Popular in West African and Brazilian cuisine.^[11] Also used to make biofuel.^[12]
• Peanut oil (Ground nut oil), a clear oil with some applications as a salad dressing, and, due to its high smoke point, especially used for frying.^[13]

Nut oils

Hazelnuts from the Common Hazel, used to make Hazelnut oil.

Nut oils are generally used in cooking, for their flavor. Most are quite costly, because of the difficulty of extracting the oil.

• Almond oil, used as an edible oil, but primarily in the manufacture of cosmetics.^[19]
• Beech nut oil, from Fagus sylvatica nuts, is a well-regarded edible oil in Europe, used for salads and cooking.^[20]

Citrus oils

A number of citrus plants yield pressed oils. Some, such as lemon and orange oil, are used as essential oils, which is uncommon for pressed oils.^{[note 1][33]} The seeds of many if not most members of the citrus family yield usable oils.^{[33][34][35][36]}

• Grapefruit seed oil, extracted from the seeds of grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi). Grapefruit seed oil was extracted experimentally in 1930 and was shown to be suitable for making soap.^[37]
• Lemon oil, similar in fragrance to the fruit. One of a small number of cold pressed essential oils.^[38] Used as a flavoring agent^[39] and in aromatherapy.^[40]
• Orange oil, like lemon oil, cold pressed rather than distilled.^[41] Consists of 90% d-Limonene. Used as a fragrance, in cleaning products and in flavoring foods.^[42]

Oils used for biofuel

A flask of biodiesel

Sunflower kernels

Jojoba fruit

A number of oils are used for biofuel (biodiesel and Straight Vegetable Oil) in addition to having other uses. Other oils are used only as biofuel.^{[note 4][146]}

Although diesel engines were invented, in part, with vegetable oil in mind,^[147] diesel fuel is almost exclusively petroleum-based. Vegetable oils are evaluated for use as a biofuel based on:

1. Suitability as a fuel, based on flash point, energy content, viscosity, combustion products and other factors
2. Cost, based in part on yield, effort required to grow and harvest, and post-harvest processing cost

Multipurpose oils also used as biofuel

The oils listed immediately below are all (primarily) used for other purposes – all but tung oil are edible – but have been considered for use as biofuel.

• Castor oil, lower cost than many candidates. Kinematic viscosity may be an issue.^[148]

Drying oils

Drying oils are vegetable oils that dry to a hard finish at normal room temperature. Such oils are used as the basis of oil paints, and in other paint and wood finishing applications. In addition to the oils listed here, walnut, sunflower and safflower oil are also considered to be drying oils.^[175]

• Dammar oil, from the Canarium strictum, used in paint as an oil drying agent.^[176] Can also be used as a lamp oil.^[177]

• Poppyseed oil, similar in usage to linseed oil but with better color stability.^[175]
• Stillingia oil (also called Chinese vegetable tallow oil), obtained by solvent from the seeds of Sapium sebiferum. Used as a drying agent in paints and varnishes.^[179][180]
• Tung oil, used as an industrial lubricant and highly effective drying agent. Also used as a substitute for linseed oil.^[181]
• Vernonia oil is produced from the seeds of the Vernonia galamensis. It is composed of 73–80% vernolic acid, which can be used to make epoxies for manufacturing adhesives, varnishes and paints, and industrial coatings.^[182]
