Oils have various uses and have different characteristics in terms of taste and properties. Oils play a major role in preparing food throughout the day, from frying and sautéing to making salads and condiments. Depending on the taste, appetite, and diet of individuals, there are different types of oils that can be used for cooking and baking. Today, vegetable oils are mainly used for frying. Vegetable oils, which are often obtained from the seeds of various plants, are divided into two categories: solid and liquid. Solid or hydrogenated oils are mainly liquid oils that are converted into solid oils in oil processing plants during the hydrogenation process to increase their heat resistance. However, these types of oils contain trans fatty acids, which are an important factor in the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, so experts recommend that you avoid consuming solid oils as much as possible. Liquid oils are divided into two categories. The first category is oils that are suitable for frying and cooking. These oils are mainly extracted from the seeds of a single plant or may be a mixture of oils from several plants. The second category is oils that are more suitable for use with salads and rice, such as sesame oil. Of course, refined sesame oil can also be used for applications requiring low heat, such as light frying. Sesame oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids and has antioxidant properties and vitamin E. Using this oil reduces bad blood cholesterol and helps maintain healthy skin and hair. With more than 80 years of experience in producing products from oil seeds, Oghab Halva Company is known today as the largest producer of sesame products and produces and markets cold-pressed sesame oil, refined sesame oil, frying oil containing sesame, and sesame and canola oil with the highest quality for various uses.
