Production & Sourcing
Source86 sources avocado oil from established growing regions in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru, where climate conditions support consistent avocado production and oil extraction at scale.
Avocado oil is produced by extracting oil from the flesh of ripe avocados. Processing methods vary depending on the desired grade and end-use application, with key differences between extra virgin and refined oils.
- Preparation: Avocados are harvested at maturity, then washed, de-skinned, and de-pitted before processing.
- Pulping: The avocado flesh is mechanically mashed into a uniform pulp.
- Extraction: Oil is separated from the pulp through mechanical pressing or centrifugation.
- Separation & Filtration: The extracted oil is separated from residual solids and filtered to achieve the desired clarity.
For extra virgin variants, the oil is minimally processed to preserve natural flavor, color, and nutrient content. Refined variants undergo additional processing to remove impurities, resulting in a more neutral flavor, lighter color, and improved stability for high-heat and large-scale manufacturing applications.
This range of processing options allows manufacturers to select avocado oil based on performance requirements, sensory profile, and application-specific needs.
Applications
Used as a primary or blended oil in frying, sautéing, roasting, and high-heat food production.
Incorporated into salad dressings, marinades, mayonnaise, and emulsified sauces.
Used in baked goods and ready-to-eat products to support moisture and texture.
Used in chips, crackers, and other snack products as a frying or coating oil.
Included in capsules, liquid supplements, and fortified food products.
Used in select formulations to provide lipid content and fatty acid composition.
Used in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic products for emollient properties.
Functionality
- Lipid Carrier: Acts as a carrier for fat-soluble compounds in food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic formulations.
- Emulsification Support: Functions as a lipid phase in emulsified systems such as dressings, sauces, and creams.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains stability under high-temperature processing conditions, supporting frying, roasting, and other heat-intensive applications.
- Texture and Mouthfeel Contribution: Contributes to smooth texture and richness in finished products.
- Moisture Retention in Formulations: Helps retain moisture in baked goods and prepared foods, supporting product consistency.
- Skin Absorption and Emollient Function (Cosmetic Use): Readily absorbed into the skin, contributing to hydration and formulation stability in personal care products.
Physical & Functional Characteristics
- Appearance: Pale yellow-green to deep green, varying by processing method, with lighter refined oils and richer green extra virgin variants.
- Texture and Mouthfeel: Smooth, fluid oil that contributes a light, cohesive texture in finished products.
- Flavor and Aroma: Mild, slightly buttery flavor in unrefined variants with a neutral profile in refined forms; aroma is subtle and non-dominant.
- Composition: Predominantly composed of monounsaturated fats, including oleic acid.
- Nutritional Profile: Contains lipids with negligible protein and carbohydrates; may include minor vitamin E and other lipid-soluble compounds depending on processing.
