- What is edible oil production from seeds?
- Edible oil production from seeds involves several unit operations, including seed cleaning, conditioning, extraction, and refining . Mechanical pressing or a solvent, usually hexane, can be used for oil extraction from seeds.
- Is AEE a green technology for oil extraction?
- With no solvent residue, environmental pollution and safety issues, and mild processing conditions, AEE is recognized as an ideal green technology for oil extraction. This review discusses the entire process and research progress of AEE in oil extraction, from the oilseed pretreatment to the final crude oil.
- How many metric tons of oilseeds were produced in 2021/2022?
- Over 600 million metric tons of oilseeds were produced just during the 2021/2022 crop year globally . Worldwide production of vegetable oils has exceeded 200 million metric tons/year during the last four years. Palm, soybean, and rapeseed are the most consumed oils.
- Why is pigeonpea rare in Malawi?
