  • Does microwave pre-treatment of rapeseed increase oil extraction yield?
  • Wroniak et al. (2016) reported the microwave pre-treatment of rapeseeds for 3 min would help to increase the oil extraction yield up to 64.5% with the rapeseeds presented 9% of moisture content. Microwave pre-treatment helps to reduce the moisture content of rapeseed, which affected the oil extraction yield from the seeds.
  • How is oil extracted from rapeseed?
  • Conventionally, oil extraction from rapeseed is achieved by screw-pressing, either by expeller pressing (full-pressing) or by pre-pressing of the seeds, followed by solvent extraction. Oil contents in the resulting press cakes are in the range of 5?%?10?% (full-press) or 15?%?18?% (pre-press) ( Kemper, 2005 ).
  • Is rapeseed defatting suitable for direct solvent extraction?
  • Due to its high oil content of up to 50 % in the seed, rapeseed defatting is not suitable for direct solvent extraction ( Unger, 2011 ). Conventionally, oil extraction from rapeseed is achieved by screw-pressing, either by expeller pressing (full-pressing) or by pre-pressing of the seeds, followed by solvent extraction.
  • How much crude oil is extracted by cold pressing rapeseed oil?
  • As a result, the crude oil extraction degree achieved by cold pressing was 60.8% compared to the Soxhlet method. This extraction degree is lower than previously reported for screw pressing of rapeseed [ 16, 17 ]. The obtained pressed rapeseed oil contained about 88.5% of crude rapeseed oil and 11.5% of solid residue.
