  • What are the different processing techniques of oilseeds?
  • Understanding of various processing techniques of oilseeds is very important. Pre-treatments like cleaning, dehulling, decortications, flaking and heat treatments assist to enhance the recovery and quality of oil during processing. Oil extraction methods including ghanies, hydraulic press, screw press and solvent extraction are discussed in detail.
  • What is the difference between a screw press and a cold press?
  • A high-pressure continuous screw press is used for oil extraction. The extraction of oil using screw press is termed as preprocessing. It provides about 45% of oil recovery at normal temperatures, which can be enhanced up to 80% by elevating the temperature. Cold press oil contains lower iodine and acid content and lighter in colour.
  • How does oil extraction process work?
  • During this process, seeds are heated in steam cookers. This process helps in oil extraction process, which makes the seed hull open. The dried seeds are fed to the hydraulic press or screw press for crushing of seeds. Size reduction is important to rupture the cell walls to make the oil extraction easier.
  • Why is processing of oilseeds important in Indian economy?
  • Processing of oilseeds has an important position in Indian economy since India is a major producer and consumer of oilseeds like rapeseed, peanuts, sunflower seed, soybeans, cottonseed, and their derived products. On the basis of consumer tastes and diversity, consumption of cooking oils vary from region to region.
