A finished oil is defined as that fat or oil product ready for use alone or as an ingredient without further processing. It represents the culmination, and carries the costs, of all the processing steps required to present it for use in its final desired form. The goal of finished oil handling and storage is to maintain the quality obtained through previous processing. Possible effects on quality through exposure to air, moisture, light, storage temperature, storage times, type of container, and physical movement of product are discussed. Also included will be a discussion of bulk handling of edible oil products.
