  • What is oil & oilseed processing?
  • Oil and Oilseed Processing The latest information available on oil and oilseed processingOil and Oilseed Processing offers a comprehensive text that explores both the conventional and novel “green” extraction methods used to extract oils from seeds.
  • What is oilseed meal used for?
  • Mechanical extraction of oil produces a crude oil and a cake that contains approximately 5 to 10 percent or more of the original oil content of the seeds. The oil in the cake may enhance its value as a livestock feed, depending on the needs of the animals being fed. Oilseed meal is often used as a protein supplement for cattle.
  • Where can I find information about oil & oilseed processing?
  • Oil and Oilseed Processing II Fact sheet from Oklahoma State University, Robert M. Kerr Food & Agricultural Products Center. Oil and Oilseed Processing III Fact sheet from Oklahoma State University, Robert M. Kerr Food & Agricultural Products Center.
  • Why is sustainable management of oilseed crops important?
  • Sustainable management of oilseed crops will not only minimize the yield gaps but also reduce the burgeoning pressure on natural resources. Limited adoption of high-yielding varieties and advanced crop-soil management practices often results in a variable productivity response and poor economic returns, even with the same level of input management.
  • What are edible oilseeds?
  • After crushing or expelling annual oilseeds yield edible vegetable oils, fats, soapstock and the protein-rich presscake. Edible oil in liquid form is preferred by consumers and known as cooking oil in Southern Africa.
  • How can biotechnological tools improve the nutritional value of oilseeds?
  • The development and application of biotechnological tools have instead enabled the generation of oilseeds that produce novel fatty acid compositions with improved nutritional value by the introduction of genes from alternative sources, including plants, bacteria, and fungi.
