  • What is the mechanical expression of oil from melon seeds?
  • Investigations were conducted on the mechanical expression of oil from melon seeds ( Citrullus vulgaris) in a laboratory press. The processing variables were particle size, moisture content, heating temperature and heating time. Physical properties such as colour, specific gravity, refractive index and viscosity were determined.
  • What factors affect oil yield during expression processing of oilseeds?
  • The literature indicates that pressure, temperature, pressing time and moisture content are the factors which affect oil yield during expression processing of oilseeds. Nearly all of the yield data reported correspond to hydraulic presses while the current technology, at least in the U.S.A., for expression processing is the screw press.
  • How does seed production affect oil extraction process?
  • The increase in the quantity of seed being slightly lower than the increase in oil production, it demonstrates an improvement of oil extraction processes. Generally, the oil extraction is based on two main steps: pressing (solid–liquid expression) and solvent extraction.
  • How to extract oleaginous seeds without solvent?
  • The oil extraction by mechanical pressing is the most common method for continuous treatment of oleaginous seeds without solvent. Different types of presses can be used depending on the purpose (expeller, expander, and twin-screw extruder) and on the capacity range (3 kg h−1 to 150 t day−1).
  • What is industrial pressing of oilseeds?
  • Industrial pressing of oilseeds is realized using continuous screw presses. The presses are fed with crude or pre-treated seeds. Types of pre-treatments (thermal pre-treatment, size reduction, mechanical sieving, etc.) differ for various seed species (Carr 1997). Each type of seed pre-treatment provides its own advantages.
  • How does dehulling affect oilseed expression?
  • The operating parameters are dependent on the seeds considered. Shelling, also known as dehulling, according to seed type is used to separate the seed almond rich in oil (usually cotyledons) of woody shell (hull and shell) that surrounds it. Few studies at a laboratory scale have investigated the effect of dehulling on oilseed expression.
