These FAQs offer clarity for bulk buyers selecting Tiger Nut Oil.
Tiger Nut Oil is chemically renowned for its exceptional lipid profile, which closely rivals and often exceeds that of premium olive oil. Our export-grade Chufa oil typically boasts an Oleic Acid (Omega-9) concentration of 70% to 80%, complemented by 10% to 15% Linoleic Acid (Omega-6). This high monounsaturated fat ratio makes it highly resistant to oxidation and an exceptionally stable carrier oil for both high-end cosmetic formulations and nutritional applications.
No. DITCO guarantees that our Tiger Nut Oil is extracted using 100% mechanical cold-pressing technology, maintaining processing temperatures strictly below 40°C. We never use chemical solvents like hexane. This virgin, unrefined extraction process is crucial because it fully preserves the oil’s naturally high levels of Alpha-Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and phytosterols, ensuring maximum antioxidant benefits for “clean-label” cosmetic and food products.
Cosmetic formulators prize Chufa Oil because of its unique combination of high oleic acid and natural tocopherols. This composition gives the oil a high oxidative stability (delaying rancidity in formulations) while remaining highly emollient and non-comedogenic. It penetrates the epidermis deeply without leaving a greasy residue, making it an ideal premium active ingredient for anti-aging serums, body lotions, and hydrating hair care lines.
To ensure a long, stable shelf life for your manufactured goods, we strictly monitor the chemical stability of our oils. Thanks to its natural antioxidant content, Tiger Nut Oil is inherently stable; however, our technical specifications guarantee a maximum Peroxide Value of 10.0 meq O2/kg and an Acid Value of maximum 2.0 mg KOH/g. We provide a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every batch to verify these metrics prior to shipment.
Protecting the oil from UV light, heat, and oxygen during maritime logistics is a top priority. For wholesale B2B distribution, we supply Tiger Nut Oil in 25 kg opaque food-grade HDPE canisters, 190 kg tightly sealed steel drums, or 900 kg IBC Totes. To maximize shelf life (up to 24 months) and prevent lipid degradation during long-haul freight, we apply nitrogen blanketing—flushing the headspace of the container with inert gas to displace oxygen.
