Olive Oils Explained
hello and welcome to moisture matters, theshow where we take your everyday and not so everyday objects and test them to see whichhas more moisture. today we’re testing food oils! which do you think has more moisture – oliveoil or sesame oil? let’s find out. monitoring the moisture content of food oilsis essential. too much moisture decreases its ability todeep fry other things and can lead to excessive popping of the oil during the frying process. this is especially true for frying oilssuch as peanut, soy, canola and vegetable
oil, but is just as important forother oils like olive and sesame. these, along with other oils, are ingredientsin many pre-packaged foods and food products. monitoring the moisture content of the oilshelps ensure a consistent product and helps food producers create food products that meetindustry quality standards. as you can see, the sesame oil and olive oilhave relatively the same moisture content. they are both extracted and processed in similarways and are even packaged similarly - usually in green-tinted glass or plastic bottles. this serves to protect the oils from externallight and air penetration, which can both
negatively affect shelf life. thank you for joining us on moisture matters. we hope you learned something today, or atleast enjoyed watching us test the moisture content of olive and sesame oil. if you did, let us know by liking, favoritingand subscribing. and remember: in matters of moisture, nothing matters more than moisture matters.
