Procedure

The crushed oil from C458-5 contained about 80-82% oleic acid, 3-4.6 % linoleic acid (yielding an O/L ratio value range of 17.4-27.3), and about 5-5.3% palmitic acid. In comparison, Florunner crush oil contained less than 52% oleic acid, 29.75% linoleic acid (yielding an O/L ratio value of only 1.73), and 8.83% palmitic acid. The C458-5 crush oil may also be contrasted with Planter Peanut oil, another industry standard, which contains about 50.2% oleic acid, 29.6% linoleic acid (for an O/L ratio value of about 1.7), and 9.7% palmitic acid.
