  • What is the difference between screw press and solvent extraction?
  • It has been found that the oil yield obtained by the solvent extraction technique was higher in comparison to the mechanical (screw) pressing (Bargale et al., 1999; Willems et al., 2008). The mechanical screw press technique was found inefficient because of the lower yield of oil.
  • Which is better screw press or n-hexane method?
  • Relative advantages and disadvantages of oil extraction between screw press and n-hexane techniques. In comparison to both methods, the results showed that n-hexane method is better in terms of higher oil yield as well as fossil energy ratio.
  • What is solvent extraction?
  • Solvent extraction is capable of removing nearly all the available oil from oil-seeds or nuts. About 98% of the oil is being extracted by solvent method. . In addition to the high yield of oil, the method produces oil with better qualities, and a higher protein meal .
  • Is screw press oil extraction effective?
  • Mahanta and Shrivastava (2004) stated that the oil extraction using screw press is not effective which is due to the problem involved in non-edible seed kernel. In contrary, the n-hexane technique was found more efficient which was due to the higher yield of oil and its consistent performance.
  • How to maximize oil yield using screw press and n-hexane techniques?
  • These dried kernels were used to maximize the yield of oil using screw press and n-hexane techniques. The results indicated that the higher yield of oil was obtained at 14.4 % MC with the dried kernels in every case (both WKs and GKs) using screw press and nhexane techniques.
  • What is the colour of oil extracted using screw press method?
  • The colour of the oil extracted using screw press method was dark green and the colour of the oil extracted using n-hexane technique was yellow. The physico-chemical properties, such as cetane number, the heat of combustion and viscosity are greatly influenced by the fatty acid composition of BLO.
