Canola Oil Pressing There are mainly two methods for extracting Canola oil, one is Mechanical Press and second is Solvent Extraction. In Mechanical Press, Canola oilseeds are pressed in a series of Screw Presses / Expellers. This process uses no chemical and leaves about 5-7% oil in the residual Cake/Meal.

What is canola oil processing?
Canola oil processing is very similar to processing of other liquid oils such as soybean, corn, and sunflower, with perhaps the two most notable differences being the need for additional bleaching capacity because of high chlorophyll in canola oil. Secondly, the degumming processes used in canola provide ideal oil for physical refining.
