  • What is the oil content of rapeseed?
  • The Oil Content in rapeseed will be around 40% ? 45%. Although the oil is very high in seeds it is hard to extract the complete oil in single stroke. It will require multiple operations to obtain complete extraction of oil from the seeds. Statistics of Rapeseed / Canola seed production.
  • How to soften rapeseed?
  • As explained rapeseeds are required to condition to make it soften. A vertical stack cooker or horizontal rotary cookers are used to condition the cracked seeds by heating with jacketed and live steam to 65 C to 70 C and increasing the moisture to 11% to 12%. This process will soften the cracked beans make it suitable to good flaking.
  • How is rapeseed extracted?
  • The seed is mechanically pressed or pressed to extract 50% to 75% of the Oil content in the seed before sending to solvent extraction to make the process more efficient. The Rapeseeds contain some legume shells, impurities, sand and stones etc. These materials are followed during the harvest at the time of collection.
