Sunflower Seed Preparation and Oil Extraction
Sunflower is crushed for oil recovery via one of two process methods, hard pressing or prepress solvent extraction. Hard pressing relies upon exerting high pressure on the prepared seed to separate oil from the solids fraction, historically recovering about 25% oil from the seed. Prepress solvent extraction relies on exerting medium pressure on ...

In Uganda, the sunflower oil market is dominated by Mukwano which is involved in providing seed, working with farmers and buying their produce. However, new entrants like small scale and cottage oil producers are emerging. The current demand for raw sunflower from the local oil processors exceeds local supply by 60-65 percent (SNV, 2009).
