Detailed explanation-1: -Flash point is generally determined by heating liquid in test equipment and measuring the temperature at which a flash is obtained when a small flame is introduced in the vapour zone above the liquid’s surface. In most vegetable oils, flashpoint typically occurs at around 315°C.
Detailed explanation-2: -The flash point is the lowest temperature at which a volatile substance evaporates to form an ignitable mixture with air in the presence of an igneous source and continues burning after the trigger source is removed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The smoke point of an oil is the temperature at which the oil starts to smoke. This is not to be confused with the flash point which is the temperature at which the oil vapors will ignite.
