• Which cooking oils/fats are used in the study of T2D?
  • Consumption of various cooking oils/fats including lard, peanut oil, soybean oil, canola oil, sesame oil, and refined blended plant oil was assessed using 3-d 24-h records in each survey and the cumulative mean intake was calculated. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models were constructed to estimate the HRs of T2D.
  • What is a cooking oil refining plant?
  • A cooking oil refining plant is where crude oil, after being extracted from vegetable seeds, goes through a series of processes to remove impurities and make it ready for human consumption. This is simply defined as refining.
  • Does sesame oil reduce T2D risk?
  • In our study, the nonsignificant association observed for sesame oil may result from the overall low intake amount in this population given that 95% of participants consumed <1.8 g ¡¤ 2000 kcal ?1 ¡¤ d ?1. Here we also observed lower T2D risk when substituting soybean oil for other cooking oils.
  • What is refining in edible oil processing?
  • Refining is the last step in edible oil processing. We are committed to making every drop of oil safe, healthy and nutritious. Value-adding by-products may be produced from processing stages like Degumming, Neutralization, Bleaching, Dewaxing/Winterization and Deodorization.
  • Does cooking oil increase T2D risk in China?
  • To consider the intakes of minor cooking oils in China and their associations with T2D risk, we categorized beef tallow, duck grease, and mutton tallow as other animal fats, whereas we classified cottonseed oil, sunflower seed oil, safflower oil, corn oil, tea seed oil, and olive oil as other plant oils.
  • What is a small cooking oil refinery?
  • A small cooking oil refinery is a facility for processing crude oil into refined oil. It typically adopts a batch type process due to its low maintenance, simplicity of operation, and low capital investment. In this process, the oils are subjected to acidic treatment, and gums are precipitated out and separated by the centrifugal separation process.
