Refined oil
Refined oil is any type of oil, such as vegetable or petroleum-based, that has been processed through industrial methods like filtration, distillation, and bleaching to remove impurities, odors, and flavors. This results in a cleaner, more stable product ideal for cooking, manufacturing, or fuel use, though it often sacrifices some natural nutrients for extended shelf life and consistency in modern applications.
