  • How is grape seed oil extracted?
  • For industrial production, cold pressing (screw pressing or continuous mechanical expression) and/or solvent extraction processes are mostly used to obtain grape seed oil. Cold pressing, which applies a lower process temperature and no solvent, is preferred to ensure a higher-quality oil extraction, although the yield is lower (55%–95%).
  • What is the difference between cold press extraction and solvent extraction?
  • Cold pressing, which applies a lower process temperature and no solvent, is preferred to ensure a higher-quality oil extraction, although the yield is lower (55%–95%). Solvent and cold press extractions are used to avoid the oxidation of fatty acids and bioactive substances, and to decrease the losses.
  • Can red grape seed oil be used in cosmeceuticals?
  • Since Vitis vinifera cold pressed and hydrogenated oils are accepted to be safe to use in cosmeceuticals, red grape seed oil is also used in wine therapy for massaging the whole body in an exfoliating step (Soto et al., 2015 ).
  • Why is grape seed oil better than cold press?
  • Since the cold press method includes no heat or chemical treatments, the last product has a relatively higher amount of antioxidants, an important level of aroma compounds and phytochemicals. These properties cause grape seed oil to be preferred for supplements and a healthy diet.
  • Why is cold pressing a seed oil extraction process?
  • Cold pressing, as a seed oil extraction procedure, does not apply either heat or chemicals during or prior to the process. Therefore, the amount of beneficial phytochemicals in the oil increases. In addition, this process is ecological and simple, and does not require high energy.
  • Why is grape seed oil important?
  • It is also considered a beneficial dietary supplement and cosmetic product with its high content of essential fatty acids, natural antioxidants, and phytochemicals. The oil also supports treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and several diseases. For these reasons, grape seed oil should have an important place in the daily diet.
