Which extraction method is best for sunflower seeds?
Therefore, prepress solvent extraction, with the highest oil recovery yield, is the process method utilized today for the majority of the sunflower seed that is crushed globally.
How is sunflower crushed for oil recovery?
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.
How is sunflower oil extracted?
To extract sunflower oil, a leaching process is often used. This process can be done using solvents such as hexane, which is commonly used in the industry. The oil is then refined to remove impurities and improve its quality. This refining process involves heating the oil to a high temperature, which can result in some oil loss.
