Technologies for extraction of oil from oilseeds and other plant sources in retrospect and prospects
The Journal of Food Process Engineering is devoted to the engineering aspects of food processing, providing a vital source for food, agricultural, biological, & chemical engineers.
The conventional oil extraction methods from oilseeds typically involve the following steps: (1) Cleaning: The oilseeds are cleaned to remove any foreign materials, such as stones, sand, and dust. (2) Crushing: The cleaned oilseeds are then crushed using a mechanical press or an expeller to obtain a coarse meal.

major operations that are invo lved in the extraction of castor. oil by the old traditional method namely, collection of see d. pods, shelling of the pods/winnowing, boiling the seeds to. reduce
The oil extraction by mechanical pressing is the most common method for continuous treatment of oleaginous seeds without solvent. Different types of presses can be used depending on the purpose (expeller, expander, and twin-screw extruder) and on the capacity range (3 kg h−1 to 150 t day−1). At the laboratory scale, many authors have highlighted the effect of operating parameters (screw
Characterization of physical and chemical properties of biodiesel produced from Jatropha curcas seeds oil cultivated in Rwanda
A yield of 26.88% of seed oil was obtained from Jatrophacurcas cultivated in Rwanda. Within 2 hours of reaction, the methyl ester (Biodiesel) was produced at a yield of 85.3% from

Oil extraction is one of the most critical steps in seed oil processing because it determines the quality and quantity of oil extracted. Optimization of the extraction conditions for each extraction method enhances yield and quality meanwhile a carefully chosen optimization process equally has the potential of saving time and heat requirements with an associated consequence on cost reduction
Soxhlet extraction is the most cited technique in the literature used for extracting oil from date seeds (see references displayed in Table 7.1).It is sometimes used as reference against the other techniques because it gives, generally, the best yield of oil. 7.2.2.2 Maceration
Advances in seed oil extraction using ultrasound assisted technology: A comprehensive review, Junaid, 2023, Wiley Online Library
Conventional techniques of oil extraction, including mechanical pressing and rendering, have limitations such as low extraction rate, high energy consumption, and low yield. In this context, ultrasonic assisted extraction is green and fast oil extraction technology with a greater extraction rate and low energy consumption.
In a study, Calophyllum Inophyllum oil seeds are subjected to mechanical oil extraction employing screw press and solvent extraction using n-hexane. It is found that the feed with a moisture content of 15% exhibited the highest yield value of around 51% and 25% in solvent extraction and mechanical extraction respectively.
