  • 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 are the different processing techniques of oilseeds?
  • Understanding of various processing techniques of oilseeds is very important. Pre-treatments like cleaning, dehulling, decortications, flaking and heat treatments assist to enhance the recovery and quality of oil during processing. Oil extraction methods including ghanies, hydraulic press, screw press and solvent extraction are discussed in detail.
  • What is vegetable oil processing?
  • Corn, cottonseed, and peanut oil and other oilseeds vegetable oil processing are similar to soybean oil processing, except for differences in the soybean preparation for oil extraction. Vegetable oil seeds are conveyed from the process bins to the mill by means of belts or mass flow conveyors and bucket elevators.
  • Why do we need improved cultivars for vegetable oil extraction?
  • Practical applications Limited land availability and growing demands for vegetable oils call for the development of improved cultivars for harnessing higher yields as well as more efficient oil extraction technologies to augment oil recovery from different oilseed crops without compromising with the oil quality.
  • How are stored oilseeds sorted?
  • The stored oilseeds are checked for soundness, impurities, moisture content and other milling characteristics. The parameters such as type and quality of impurities/foreign material, moisture content, quality of shrivelled/immature seeds, oil content, colour and acid/iodine value of extracted oil are considered for sorting.
  • Why are oilseeds stored for a long time?
  • Oilseeds are generally stored for some time to minimize the effect of chlorophyll content in oil for restricting the induction of greenish colour and enhancing the oil recovery. Most of the oilseeds are stored in heaps, bags, bins or silos.
