Towards edible oil self-sufficiency in Ethiopia: Lessons
1. Introduction. Among many plant species that bear oils in their seed in Ethiopia, only nine of them are economically important. These are noug (Guizotia abyssinica), linseed and gomenzer or Ethiopian Mustard (Brassica carinata) classified as highland (>2400 meters above sea level), sesame and groundnuts are classified as lowland (
The oil is extracted from sesame seeds through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction methods. 2. Sunflower Oil: Sunflower oil is another widely produced edible oil in Ethiopia. Sunflower seeds are cultivated in different regions of the country, and their oil is extracted using mechanical pressing techniques.
Sunflower Research: Current Status and Future Prospects in
Misteru Tesfaye* and Birhanu Mengistu. Holetta Agricultural Research Center, P.O. Box. 31, Holetta, Ethiopia. Abstract – Sunflower is one of the four most important oilseeds in the world. Because of its high quality of oil about. 90% of the total production of oil is used for human consumption. In Ethiopia noug, linseed, Ethiopian mustard and.
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. Prepress solvent extraction relies on exerting medium pressure on
Ethiopia’s agro ecology and sunflower seed production
In Ethiopia, research on sunflower was started late with the growing interest from private sector to produce sunflower. Studies show that sunflower was introduced to Ethiopia over a century ago. Cultivated sunflower can be grouped into categories based on its use and these are oil extraction and ornament for confectionary.
conditioned or pre-treated. Depending on the type of oil seed, this may include soaking, cooking, removing hulls, and/or flaking or crushing. Oil must then be extracted from oil seeds. This can be done via mechanical or chemical means. Mechanically, oil seeds can be pressed or centrifuged to physically extract oil. This
Evaluation of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes for
Sunflower is one of the most important oil crops in Ethiopia in terms of edible oil and holds significant promise for improvement and development improved varieties. The present study was initiated to study the genetic diversity and performance of sunflower genotypes that enables to harness its seed yield and oil content improvement by using 25 genotypes including two standard checks namely
The sunflower seed pressing procedure manages to transform about 25–33% of the initial seed weight into oil , while in chemical extraction, the average extracted oil yield is ~42% . As a result of this process, byproducts are generated with a high concentration of nutritional components, including high protein content, reaching around 40–50
Design, fabrication and performance evaluation of centrifugal
Lack of effective machines for dehulling sunflower seeds has resulted in high oil losses during extraction, especially for small- and medium-scale enterprise. This paper reports on the design, fabrication and performance evaluation (in terms of throughput capacity, dehulling efficiency and kernel breakage efficiency) of a centrifugal machine
Stahl et al. [3] measured the solubility of sunflower seed oil in CO 2 at various pressure values (in the range between 150 and 700 bar) and at a temperature of 40 °C; the authors [3] performed extractions with hexane at atmospheric pressure and with CO 2 in the pressure range between 250 and 350 bar, obtaining an oil yield (kg oil /kg seeds
