Every oil has a different smoke point—the temperature after which it is no longer healthy and begins to smoke. Some oils, such as flaxseed oil, have a very low smoke point and, as a result, should never be heated. Olive oil smokes at just under 325°F, while macadamia nut oil reaches its smoke point at around 4io°F, allowing you to cook with it at higher temperatures without destroying the health benefits of the oil (unless the oil has been overheated during manufacturing). When oils become rancid or overheated, the beneficial fatty acids break down into other compounds such as hydrocarbons, ketones, and aldehydes, all of which can raise the acidity of our bodies. 

In addition to the health benefits of phenohc compounds in oils, the antioxidants contribute to the oxidative stability of the nuts and oils and extend their shelf life. When macadamia oil is obtained from the crushed nuts and shehs by cold processing, some of the antioxidants leech from the shehs into the oil and increase the antioxidant content. Unfortunately, during the refining of macadamia nut oil products, many of the antioxidants are removed [20]. Phenohc compounds also have organoleptic properties, which color and flavor the oils [20,21].

The high stability of the macadamia nut oil may be associated with the storage conditions and the xmsaturated fatty acid profile, which is an important factor since the unsaturations make the oil less susceptible to oxidation. Therefore, macadamia nut oils have high oxidative stability due to the high content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Low peroxide and acidity values are also responsible for high oxidative stability since they are associated with the quality standards and conservation of raw materials [28].
