polyunsaturated oils form greater amounts of free radicals which are associated with rancidity. Avocado Oil is recommended for Skin care and soap making. It has a shelf life of up to one year.
Premium avocado oil is cold-pressed much like olive oil and is known to lower LDL levels. Studies conducted show that avocado oil reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and prostate incidence. It is free of
trans fatty acids and cholesterol-inducing fats.
Avocado oil has a higher viscosity than olive oil, and texturally is more pleasant than all other oils. The
edible pulp of the avocado, which surrounds the seed, contains from 8 to 30% of a non-drying oil. Oil is
separated by dehydrating the pulp, then pressing or extracting with solvents. The oil is used in cosmetics, and to some extent in salad dressings.
