The Used Cooking Oil

Oil used in cooking foods is commonly derived from vegetables. Cooking oil is commonly used for frying. Oil used for frying is usually thrown away. The recycling of cooking oil also provides a form of revenue for restaurants, which are sometimes compensated by cooking oil recyclers for their used deep fryer oil. Cooking oil recycling also results in less used oil being disposed of in drains, which can clog sewage lines due to the build-up of fats. Oil used in cooking oil food is commonly derived from vegetables. Cooking oil is high in fat calories. Unsaturated and saturated oils have approximately the same number of fat grams and calories, according to the calorie lab website. Olives, safflower, corn, cottonseed, canola, sunflower seed, soy palm and coconut oil all contain about 13.5 grams fat and 120 calories per tablespoon.

Cooking oil is commonly used for frying. Oil used for frying is thrown away. The purified oil was compared to. Speaking of oil, if you use it to cook, you know that a lot of it goes to waste. But what if you could clean that oil and use it over and over again? Not only would that save money, but it would also benefit the environment since most people do not properly dispose of used cooking oil (no, pouring it down the drain doesn’t count). Although considered a quintessential American style of cooking, deep-frying foods in fats or oils is an ancient cooking technique. The best oils for deep-frying should be able to withstand the necessary high temperatures without smoking. Peanut, safflower and vegetable oils are some commonly used cooking oils. Even if frying foods is an occasional event in health-conscious homes, saving money is always a good idea. Purifying and storing used cooking oils is a moderately easy process involving the removal of impurities and food particles caused by cooking?

Statement of the Problem

1.) How is the purified used cooking oil different from other retail cooking oils?

2.) Will it be useful to the society today?

3.) How does the quality of the purified used vegetable oil compare to the commercially available cooking oil in terms of:

Odor

Color and clarity

Feasibility

Hypothesis

The following statements are based on the question given by the researchers arriving with intelligent guesses for the problem:

1.) The researchers firmly believe that the quality will be the same as the one present in the market.

2.) The researchers believe that the product will be very useful to the society by reducing cooking oil consumption.

3.) There is no difference in the odor of the purified oil and the one available in the market. The color and clarity of the product will almost be
identical to the one in the market.

Objective

To reuse the used cooking oil.
To lessen the used cooking oil.
To have cooking oil that is much affordable.

Scope and Delimitations

Upon conducting the experimentation process, the researchers had found out some limitations within the thesis projects and these are the following: 1. The researchers did not include the measurement of how clean each of the purified cooking oil because the instrument used to measure was not available in the surroundings.

2. Upon testing the candles quality, the researchers only include the following parameters:
a. Time used in purifying used cooking oil
b. Difference between the purified used cooking oil and the brand new or commercially cooking oil
