How are rapeseed seeds extracted?
The rapeseeds were milled using a laboratory mill (A11 basic, IKA, Germany) and sieved into 1 mm fractions. The obtained fraction of seed material (about 20 g) was treated with petroleum ether (b.p. 60–90 °C) within 7 h. The extraction of the seed oil was done in triplicate. The oil content of the seeds was 40.9±0.1%.
Can mechanical pressing be used for rapeseed oil extraction?
The investigation of mechanical pressing for rapeseed oil extraction has been limited. In one study, a screw-pressing method achieved an extraction degree of 72% [ 16 ]. Another study using a ‘duo’ screw press demonstrated a higher extraction degree of 82.6% [ 17 ].
How much crude oil is extracted by cold pressing rapeseed oil?
As a result, the crude oil extraction degree achieved by cold pressing was 60.8% compared to the Soxhlet method. This extraction degree is lower than previously reported for screw pressing of rapeseed [ 16, 17 ]. The obtained pressed rapeseed oil contained about 88.5% of crude rapeseed oil and 11.5% of solid residue.
