Peanut oil is used to make nitroglycerin, which is then combined with other ingredients to make dynamite. It is also used as a lubricant and can be used to make biodiesel fuel. It is safe for those with peanut allergies to ingest due to the refining process.
Nitroglycerin is just one of countless products that can be made with peanut oil. The oil can be extracted from peanuts via high heat or pressure. Therefore, because peanut oil can withstand extremely high temperatures and remain stable, it is not only ideal for frying, but also for dynamite. Peanut oil is a main ingredient of glycerol, a thick liquid that is used in many products as a lubricant. Nitroglycerin is produced when glycerol is nitrated or combined with compounds with explosive properties. The nitroglycerin is then combined with additional ingredients to make it more physically stable and safer to transport, and the end result is dynamite.
