If sunflower oil goes rancid + tips, conditions, what to do

When vegetable oil that has been left for longer than expected changes its color or acquires a slightly different, often bitter taste, we begin to doubt whether it is suitable for consumption.

SORE THROAT

Is it really necessary to throw away bitter vegetable oil? Ruta Balčiūnaitė, head of the Alejus chain of stores at the Rudugis enterprise, explains that some vegetable oils initially have a bitterness, while others acquire it as a result of oxidation. For example, flaxseed oil changes its taste when oxidized and becomes bitter. But with olive it’s the other way around. Many people think that olive oil is bitter because it is spoiled or rancid. In fact, the feeling of bitterness and stinging is an indicator that extra-pure extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances. The bitter taste comes from flavonoids (polyphenols) contained in the oil, which protect it from oxidation. Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants. They have a positive effect on the activity of the cardiovascular system, protect the cell membrane from the harmful effects of free radicals, stop the aging process, and relieve inflammation. So the more bitter, rich and “strong” the olive oil is, the more flavonoids it contains. The amount of these substances in olive oil depends on the variety of olives, the conditions of their cultivation, the degree of ripeness (the greener the olives, the more antioxidants they contain), the method of obtaining the oil (the colder the pressing, the more antioxidants in the oil), storage and storage conditions. Olive oil producers claim that the palate should be gradually accustomed to oil with a good, rich taste, like a good red wine rich in tannins. When tasting high-quality olive oil, you should definitely feel the bitterness. By the way, it completely disappears when you add oil to salads. Often the slightly changed color of vegetable oil also causes concern. Sometimes oils of the same type can differ in color. Vegetable oil can be refined or unrefined. According to R. Balciunaite, oil refining is its purification. The main refining processes are neutralization, clarification and deodorization. As a result of these processes, the oil becomes a beautiful golden color, without a specific taste or odor, and is stable to oxidation due to an extended shelf life. Unrefined oil does not have such properties. It can be cold or hot pressed, filtered or unfiltered. But it is not chemically processed in any way. This oil retains its best qualities and often has a specific taste and smell. Unrefined vegetable oil is a real, pure product, the way our food should be. Unrefined vegetable oil comes in different colors. It depends on the type of raw material and the pressing method. Therefore, dark color is not an indicator of quality, and sediment at the bottom of the bottle is not a sign of spoilage. Such sediment is a natural phenomenon. There is no need to be afraid of it: like unrefined oil itself, it is good for health.

NOT USEABLE

A sign indicating that the oil is unfit for consumption is a change in its color, taste and consistency. It is unlikely that consuming a product the day after the expiration date stated on the label will be harmful. An open bottle of vegetable oil does not have to be used as soon as possible. The main thing is to store the oil in a cool, dark place, such as the refrigerator. Is it possible to get poisoned by vegetable oil? Experts assure that it is rare, but it happens. For example, oil used several times for frying can cause poisoning.

Rice bran oil 254°C Raf. corn 232°C Rough. cotton 216°C Rough. grape seed oil 216°C Butter (for comparison) 121-149°C

VARIETY OF VEGETABLE OILS

Today on the shelves you can see a huge variety of oils of different varieties. The most “Lithuanian” of them is linen; it has long been made in our area. Most often people buy from us flaxseed, sunflower or olive oil. In a specialized store, your eyes are wide open from the assortment: sunflower, rapeseed, corn, olive, hemp, pumpkin, wheat germ, grape seed, rice, peanut, macadamia nuts, pine, apricot kernels, etc. In the store you can even buy vegetable butter with butter flavor. Did they really start making vegetable oil from butter? R. Balciunaite suggests familiarizing yourself with the composition of such oil: vegetable oil, soy lecithin E322, butter flavoring, beta-carotene. So the “butter flavor” comes from the flavoring. There is, however, vegetable oil with a butter flavor, which contains natural butter concentrate. But do we really need it? The main producers of olive oil are Mediterranean countries: Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Syria, Turkey, Tunisia, Lebanon, Morocco... However, olive oil produced in the EU is more often offered on the European market. And one of the most valuable and expensive types of oil - argan - is made only in Morocco. This oil is often called Moroccan white gold. The main producers of sunflower oil are Russia and Ukraine. Flaxseed oil, which is sold in Lithuania, is most often produced in Lithuania, although German production is also found. Not only flaxseed oil is produced in Lithuania: there is milk thistle seed oil, pumpkin oil, peanut oil, hemp oil, caraway oil, and black sesame oil.

FOR SALADS AND FRYING

As you know, vegetable oil can be used for dressing salads and for frying. How to figure out which one is for what? Connoisseurs point out that any oil is suitable for salads, but unrefined, cold-pressed oil is best. Everyone chooses according to their taste or based on health benefits. It is important to choose the right oil for frying. There is an opinion that frying can only be done in refined oil. This is wrong. Unrefined canola, olive and sesame oils are excellent for this purpose. You just need to know the smoke point of the oil, that is, at what temperature substances harmful to health are formed in it. So which oil to choose from all this abundance? Our interlocutor did not dare to name any one variety; in her opinion, this is a matter of taste. But no matter what you choose, you won’t lose: any vegetable oil contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to the body.

Maybe it's mustard oil? I bought it once.

I know how to use unnecessary vegetable oil, but only in warm weather (as long as there is no frost) and only outside. I read about this and even tried to do it. It is used in the fight against mosquitoes and mice.

I think I used this oil on my heels at night, and it was a pity to throw it away too. The heels became soft.

You know, once the children made popcorn at their mother-in-law’s house, but she only accepted homemade butter. The popcorn turned out bitter and the children didn’t want to eat it. My mother-in-law used the oil and did not notice any bitterness. She was surprised why the popcorn turned out bitter.

Preparing caviar and placing it in the freezer

Mushrooms are peeled, washed, cut into small strips 0.5 cm thick.
First you need to let the water boil, quickly cut it, put it in a pan. This way they won’t have time to darken on the cuts.
After 2-3 minutes of cooking, place in a colander, rinse with clean water, refill, and cook for 15 minutes.
Add peppercorns - 15 pcs., salt, bay leaf - 4 pcs., cloves - 5 pcs. 10 cloves of garlic are added in 5 minutes. until the end of cooking.
All proportions are calculated for a five-liter pan. Cook for 45 minutes. Boiled mushrooms are poured into a colander.

Interesting: How long can jam with walnuts be stored in the refrigerator?

When the water has drained, remove the cloves, pepper, and bay leaves. Using a meat grinder or blender, grind the mushrooms to the required consistency. Many recipes call for adding fried onions and vegetable oil, then it is recommended to simmer for 15 minutes. Stewed caviar is seasoned with tomato puree sauce with pepper or citric acid. It is better to use special freezing bags.

For better freezing, plastic bags are filled with the resulting mass to the very top, and the air is squeezed out as much as possible. The bags are quickly tied and placed in the freezer.

Caviar frozen in this way can be stored for one year. Remember: once you open the bag, you must use it immediately. Otherwise, toxic bacteria that are dangerous to the body may form in the mushrooms. The volume of each bag is calculated so that one dish can be prepared from it.

Butter

The taste of the product changes for me in the summer, when I defrost the refrigerator, and the fat ends up in excess heat for a long time. And it happens that I overlook it in the store and only see the problem at home - not all distributors sell a high-quality product and comply with storage conditions.

In this case, I have a proven set of rescue measures:

If you need to store a piece of butter without refrigeration for several days, put it in a jar of cold, salted water.
it needs to be changed every day;
To remove the unpleasant taste, melt it in a saucepan along with a slice of bread. When heated, the wheat chunk will absorb an unpleasant odor and taste; it must be discarded, and the melted fat should be strained through several layers of gauze into a sterilized, dry storage container. Slices of fresh green apples have the same effect;
Melt the rancid product in a thick-bottomed container and mix it with crushed birch charcoal. Then send the dishes to a warm place for a day, protecting them from direct sunlight with a towel. Next, strain through a thick linen cloth and use for baking. If the fat is frozen, you can melt it again before straining.

I advise that if there is little oil, it is better to throw it away - often bitterness is a sign of rapid growth of harmful microorganisms in the product.

Sunflower oil

An unrefined product that is either made from bad seeds or has been exposed to light for a long time and has oxidized has this defect. If spoiled by ultraviolet radiation, the oil must be thrown away or used to care for shoes - shoes cannot be poisoned by free radicals.

If a fresh product has an unpleasant taste, you can correct the situation in the following ways:

Grind the dry beans into powder in a mortar and pour into a jar of golden product. Place the container in a dark, cool place for a week, shake it from time to time. Before using, strain the oil and feel free to season salads with it - the bitterness will go away;
Fry a handful of good sunflower seeds until they taste pleasant, crush them together with the husks and add them to the oil. Infuse, as in the case of beans, for about a week in the cellar. Then strain and refrigerate;
Heat the product in a cauldron almost to a boil, put in a few onions, cut in half, and fry until the vegetables have a pleasant color and smell. Cool at room temperature and store in the refrigerator.

Remember that even the right product can become bitter if it is overheated.

Chanterelles: caviar with tomato

The mushrooms according to this recipe are so delicious that they are closed several times during the mushroom season. After all, they often begin to eat them long before the onset of winter cold. This recipe makes 12 cans of caviar, 0.5 liters each.

a little more than four kilograms of chanterelles;
a kilogram of dense, ripe tomatoes;
half a kilo of onions and carrots;
hot pepper pod;
large head of garlic;
spices: allspice, cloves and coriander to taste;
80 grams of salt and sugar;
a large bunch of greenery;
half a 100-gram shot of vinegar;
one and a half liters of milk.

Wash the mushrooms, sort and soak for 3 hours in cold water. Drain the water and soak again, but in a mixture of milk and water for an hour.
Rinse and boil in salted water until they settle to the bottom of the pan.
Peel and chop the remaining vegetables. Fry in heated vegetable oil.
Mix all ingredients and pass through a meat grinder.

Bring to a boil and distribute into containers. Sterilize for 45 minutes.

To make mushroom caviar from boiled mushrooms both tasty and safe, you need to adhere to the following rules:

Olive oil

The product is not for everyone; some Middle Eastern dishes benefit from this type of vegetable fat. The thing is that the healthiest type of olive oil, the first-pressed one, has a bitterness.

If you don’t like the taste, use the product of the second production cycle, the so-called oil cake - it has neither smell nor taste. And naturally, it wouldn’t hurt to take a test portion of the advertised product to the laboratory for analysis in order to decide on the brand.

The trouble is that scammers are not asleep and the market is simply overflowing with low-quality counterfeits of popular goods.

Linseed oil

Most often used by supporters of healthy nutrition, the so-called pp-ers. Designed to replenish the reserves of omega fatty acids in the body, exhausted by diets or diseases.

It always tastes bitter, so a spoiled product can only be distinguished from a good one visually - improper storage makes flaxseed oil cloudy due to the oxidation process triggered by excess heat and direct sunlight.

It can be added to salads, heavily diluted with other vegetable fat, so that the unpleasant taste does not spoil the impression of the salads. Under no circumstances should you cook with it - the product turns from medicine into poison. Therefore, before removing the bitterness of the oil, check its expiration date and quality.

This is the “fat story” we have today.

And finally, listen to good advice and a homemade idea, or rather a little trick for housewives in every kitchen on how to keep sunflower oil fresh longer at home

How to store honey mushrooms and why they need to be processed quickly

With the beginning of cool autumn days, residents of cities and villages, lovers of quiet hunting, have a question about how to store honey mushrooms. After a rainy summer, the harvest of these mushrooms is especially abundant; they grow in entire colonies. Mushroom pickers know that after harvesting, it is not always possible to quickly process them.

How to preserve mushrooms before processing?

Any cut mushrooms, especially lamellar ones, can form toxic substances when stored fresh. Therefore, they need to be recycled as soon as possible. How long can fresh honey mushrooms be stored if there is not enough time to preserve them on the same day?

For pickling and pickling, it is better to collect young honey mushrooms with unopened caps. They will be the most delicious and tender with this method of preparation. Large specimens with umbrella-like caps can be preserved differently.

Having quickly disassembled and cleared the mushrooms of debris, you can immediately begin the hot salting or pickling method. To do this, boil water in a large container while sorting occurs. By the time the liquid boils, all that remains is to place the washed mushrooms in a saucepan, boil for 20-25 minutes and marinate, adding salt, spices and vinegar to taste.

While the process of canning selected small mushrooms is taking place, large ones can be stored in the refrigerator. After finishing the pickling work, you need to continue processing the remaining part of the crop.

How to prepare honey mushrooms for the winter?

Storing honey mushrooms in winter is possible only in processed form. But jars of marinades and pickles should not sit in a warm pantry for more than 4-5 months. The shelf life of pickled mushrooms in the refrigerator or cold cellar is 6-12 months.

Not all honey mushrooms are suitable for pickling and pickling. What can be made from high-quality, but slightly overgrown honey mushrooms? It turns out that there are many ways to process and store even such tough and not very pleasant-tasting mushrooms:

Freezing allows you to preserve all the valuable substances and taste of honey mushrooms. After thawing, the mushrooms resemble fresh ones and can be used to prepare soups, caviar, stir-fries and other dishes where they are cooked. Before placing honey mushrooms in the freezer, they should not be washed, otherwise they will freeze into a monolith during storage. Frozen mushrooms are stored for 6-8 months.
Freezing with pre-boiling allows you to reduce the cooking time for dishes with mushrooms. Boiled honey mushrooms are drained in a colander to remove liquid and cool, and then placed in containers or bags. They can be stored in the freezer for about 1 year without loss of taste and beneficial qualities.
It is very convenient to store fried mushrooms. To make canned food, before processing, you need to wash and cut the caps of large honey mushrooms. You can fry them in ghee, lard or vegetable fat. The taste of the preparations will be different depending on the added spices. Fried mushrooms are placed in sterile jars and filled with the fat in which the processing took place. The jars are immediately closed or rolled up. High temperatures leave no chance for microorganisms to survive, so such canned food can be stored in the refrigerator or cellar for up to 12 months.
Even large mushrooms with hard legs can be processed. Prepared delicious caviar from honey mushrooms for the winter can be stored in a cold place for 5-6 months. It is very convenient to add to prepared dishes, or serve as an independent snack with potatoes. A sandwich with caviar made from mushrooms ground in a meat grinder is a self-sufficient breakfast.

Even slightly overripe honey mushrooms can be stored for the winter in the form of delicious canned food or frozen. If they already have hard legs, then only the caps are used for the blanks. The fibrous parts can be boiled and passed through a meat grinder along with the mushrooms selected for caviar.

How to dry and preserve honey mushrooms?

A special way to store mushrooms is drying. During this process, almost all moisture is removed from the fruiting bodies. As a result, their shelf life increases, reaching 2-3 years. But dried honey mushrooms themselves need proper storage.

For drying, you need to select medium-sized mushrooms that have opened. Before drying using the traditional method, you should very carefully select healthy specimens that are not damaged by worms. Drying occurs outdoors at room temperature, so mold or worms can transfer to healthy mushrooms.

Drying can also be done in special dryers. In these devices, the baking tray with mushrooms is heated to 50°C or more. The process is much faster, and it takes only a few hours until it is completely ready.

Store dried mushrooms in linen bags in a completely dry place. At high humidity, honey mushrooms absorb water vapor and can become moldy. During long-term storage, they need to be checked for moisture from time to time: if the caps have lost their fragility and become plastic, then the entire batch should be dried in the oven at a temperature of +70°C.

Honey mushrooms can be preserved in different ways. With proper processing, even conditionally edible agaric mushrooms become palatable and can be eaten for several months.

We offer several video recipes tested by mushroom lovers.

Any cut mushrooms, especially lamellar ones, can form toxic substances when stored fresh. Therefore, they need to be recycled as soon as possible. How long can fresh honey mushrooms be stored if there is not enough time to preserve them on the same day?

The end of warm summer and the beginning of golden autumn make us think about winter, severe frosts, and icy cold. While the autumn sun is still gently warming, it’s time to start preparing mushrooms for the winter. In addition to drying, salting, and canning mushrooms, many housewives like to prepare delicious aromatic caviar from mushrooms.

When it’s bitterly cold outside, bitterly cold, during a feast with good company, it’s nice to get a jar of delicious mushroom caviar. Guests happily spread the delicacy on toasted slices of bread, rubbed with garlic, and ask the hospitable hosts about the origin of this tasty dish. A warm, relaxed conversation ensues, where everyone has something to remember.

What to do to prevent sunflower oil from becoming bitter

Why does sunflower oil start to taste bitter?

If sunflower oil is stored for a very long time or in the wrong conditions, it may begin to taste bitter or acquire an unpleasant odor. Vegetable oil contains bacteria, which, if stored improperly, begin to mutate and form others that are already harmful to the body.

Is it possible to use rancid sunflower oil?

Rancid oil contains a lot of cholesterol, which is very harmful. Often such oil cannot be saved in any way and has to be thrown away so as not to harm your health. However, if the oil has just begun to acquire a bitter taste and smell, you can try to rid it of bitterness.

How to remove bitterness from sunflower oil?

If you have a lot of sunflower oil stored and it has gone rancid, then this is already a problem, and you need to try to save it. And if a bottle of sunflower oil begins to taste bitter, then it is better not to waste time or effort, but to immediately go for a new one.

To get rid of bitterness (or prevent it) you will need:

- Two large onions

To remove the bitterness from sunflower oil, you need to pour it into a cauldron or pan and add charcoal to it. Boil the oil and cool. This method should revive it and kill any harmful bacteria that have begun to appear. However, if after these steps the oil still tastes bitter, it cannot be used as food.

As we have already figured out, so that the question “how to remove bitterness from sunflower oil” does not arise, it must be stored correctly.

How to store sunflower oil so that it does not taste bitter?

The most important law is to store sunflower oil in the dark!

There is a very effective folk method on how to save oil from bitterness. It involves using beans. It must be crushed well and poured into a container with oil. This helps protect the oil from aging.

If the oil begins to age, you can quickly save it with the help of bulbs. They must be cleaned and placed whole in a cauldron with oil. The onions should be thoroughly fried in oil and if after this the taste becomes different, you can cook in it. If nothing changes, you will have to throw it away.

What do manufacturers add to sunflower oil to prevent it from becoming bitter?

In factory conditions, baking soda is used to prevent the oil from becoming bitter. It is diluted with hot water in small proportions and poured into oil. After this, the oil is separated from the water. Thus, rancid butyric acids are dissolved by soda and during the separation process they are removed from the oil.

Good afternoon, dear hostesses! Today I’ll tell you how to remove the bitterness of butter if a spoiled product ends up in your kitchen. I use different types of vegetable fats, and therefore my methods of resuscitation also differ from each other.

Two words about storing oil

Remember : oil should not “live” in the refrigerator, but it also has no place in the heat. In such cases, it loses vitamins and beneficial elements.

Delicious recipe! How to feel what a man thinks about you

Best storage temperature: from +5 to +20 °C. The oil bottle should not be exposed to sunlight . The consequences are the destruction of vitamin A.

Well, the last rule, which many people forget: it is better to use the oil within 3-4 weeks after opening the bottle .

Butter

In this case, I have a proven set of rescue measures:

If you need to store a piece of butter without refrigeration for several days, put it in a jar of cold, salted water.
it needs to be changed every day;
To remove the unpleasant taste, melt it in a saucepan along with a slice of bread. When heated, the wheat chunk will absorb an unpleasant odor and taste; it must be discarded, and the melted fat should be strained through several layers of gauze into a sterilized, dry storage container. Slices of fresh green apples have the same effect;
Melt the rancid product in a thick-bottomed container and mix it with crushed birch charcoal. Then send the dishes to a warm place for a day, protecting them from direct sunlight with a towel. Next, strain through a thick linen cloth and use for baking. If the fat is frozen, you can melt it again before straining.

I advise that if there is little oil, it is better to throw it away - often bitterness is a sign of rapid growth of harmful microorganisms in the product.

Sunflower oil

If a fresh product has an unpleasant taste, you can correct the situation in the following ways:

Grind the dry beans into powder in a mortar and pour into a jar of golden product. Place the container in a dark, cool place for a week, shake it from time to time. Before using, strain the oil and feel free to season salads with it - the bitterness will go away;
Fry a handful of good sunflower seeds until they taste pleasant, crush them together with the husks and add them to the oil. Infuse, as in the case of beans, for about a week in the cellar. Then strain and refrigerate;
Heat the product in a cauldron almost to a boil, put in a few onions, cut in half, and fry until the vegetables have a pleasant color and smell. Cool at room temperature and store in the refrigerator.

Remember that even the right product can become bitter if it is overheated.
