  • What is vegetable oil & how is it extracted?
  • Vegetable oil is extracted from various oil seeds & nuts such as mustard / canola / rapeseed, copra / coconut, soya bean / soybean, peanut / groundnut, sunflower, cottonseed, sesame, neem, palm fruit & palm kernel, niger, sheanuts, flaxseed / linseed, etc through a mechanical pressing process.
  • How is edible oil extracted?
  • In a typical edible oil processing plant oil is extracted from the seed first using mechanical extraction (expeller press) followed by chemical extraction (hexane extraction). By using both methods less than 1% of the oil is left in the meal that is produced. The majority of this meal is sold for use in animal feed rations.
  • What is small-scale oil production?
  • Smallscale oil extrac-tion is more commonplace in other parts of the world. As a result, many of the useful resource materials and much of the appropriate-scale machinery come from other countries. Th is pub-lication describes the basic processes of oilseed production, with extensive sources for additional information and equipment.
  • Is extraction of vegetable oil a profitable venture?
  • Since their is an improvement in people’s living standards, the consumption of edible oils is also increasing day by day. Therefore, the extraction of vegetable oil is a profitable venture that in most cases rewards manufacturers with good profitable returns.
