Holgado et al., Performance of virgin and refined avocado oils during deep-frying and thermoxidation (2024)

Notes

*Avocado smoke points follow Holgado et al. 2024 (AOCS Cc 9a-48, Mexican-market bottles): virgin ~249 °C, refined ~220 °C — virgin higher in that set, not a swapped column. Academic lab readings are the cell; we do not overwrite them with brand labels. If you expect refined avocado near 260 °C / 500 °F (e.g. some heavily purified commercial oils), that is a different claim set from this AOCS sample — noted on hover, not in the primary figure.

An empty cell means we do not yet have a method-cited source. Rank 1 wins the published rule; it is not medical advice.
