Answer 1

Answer:

It does not disintegrate at high temperature

Explanation:

Because of its lower smoke point, lower saturated fat and higher unsaturated fats, are considered best for higher temperature tolerance.

It is so because olive oil unlike normal oils with low smoke point will not disintegrate at high temperature and hence it can be used for deep frying
