Effects of Extraction Methods on the Yield and Quality
A similar observation was reported by [24] for the extraction of oil from shea butter using traditional extraction methods (hot water) and solvent extraction using n-hexane, whereby n-hexane
The shea nuts were characterized as T1 (small nuts), T2 (medium nuts), T3 (big nuts) and T4 (very big nuts). These nuts were arranged in a completely randomized design and replicated three times for shea nut butter extraction and assessed for free fatty acid (FFA), moisture content and sensory quality.
Screw Press / Oil Expeller for Shea Butter Extraction
Medium Scale Shea Butter Press Machine. This screw press is featured of high oil yield and ideal for medium scale oil mill plant and new entrepreneur. Production Output: 12 – 15 tonnes per 24 Hours. Chamber Size : 44″ X Ø7″ Long. Double Reduction Gear Box of Cast Iron Body and Mild Steel Fabricated Gears.
Microwave extraction process. Mature shea nuts used in this work were picked from Ngaoundere Cameroon, cooked at 85 °C for 2 h (Nde Bup et al. 2012). They were then de-corked, cut into about 5 mm thick slice and dried in an electric oven at 50 °C for 24 h to a moisture content of 3.97 ± 05 % d.b.
Meeting the global demand for shea oil and shea butter extraction
Today, the global shea market represents an estimated value of $2.75 billion, which is set to double within the next ten years to exceed $5.5 billion by 2033. Africa produces approximately 1,760,000 metric tons (MT) of raw shea nuts a year, and historically, most of this stayed within the African continent to supply domestic demand.
Shea oil and shea butter originates from the fruit of a tree that only grows in one area of Africa. The shea tree provides a vital source of income for millions of indigenous women who collect fallen fruit from the wild trees. Although it represents a smaller market (in terms of volume) compared to other commodity oilseeds and nuts, shea’s
Shea butter extraction technologies: Current status
Shea butter is a high– value shea nut fat used as an edible oil, antimicrobial and moisturiser in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, respectively. The annual worldwide export of
Shea butter is an important lipid material for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Most of the shea butter consumed in the world comes from Africa. The extraction protocol is not standardized among all regions of production. It can be done using either traditional or improved (semi-mechanical) processes. The quality of shea butter and its composition depend on multiple factors such
Oil Produced from Ghana Shea Nut Crop for Prospective
In order to maintain this state, the Shea kernel oil require heating at elevated temperatures in order to avoid solidifying over a given processing duration. Therefore, comprehensive study of the process of extracting oil from Shea kernels is essential to progress the large-scale processing of Shea kernel oil for commercial uses.
GOYUM offers complete equipment set specially designed for shea butter extraction, including kernel processing, mechanical extraction, solvent extraction and cooking oil refinery to produce refined shea butter. We have supplied machinery & equipment’s to 66+ countries and several are in the process of installation and commissioning.
