Oilseeds preparation aims to transform oilseeds into high quality flakes, or extruded oilseeds, or pressed cakes desirable for optimal extraction.
What is food-grade flaxseed oil?
Food-grade flaxseed oil is cold-pressed, obtained without solvent extraction, in the absence of oxygen, and marketed as edible flaxseed oil. Fresh, refrigerated and unprocessed, linseed oil is used as a nutritional supplement and is a traditional European ethnic food, highly regarded for its nutty flavor.
How does flaking affect oil extraction?
So that part of the cell walls are destroyed, and the oilseed turn into thin flakes with large surface area. Thereby the flaking process can shorten the path of oil extracting from oilseed. In theory, the larger the surface coefficient of the contact between the flakes and solvent, the better the extracting effect.
What are the benefits of oilseed pretreatment & extraction plants?
Oilseeds pretreatment, extraction and refining plants are all designed in an integrated way, greatly reducing the space occupation and building height, making the layout more rational and compact, and the safety and construction cost of the whole project are well controlled.
