  • Can a screw press extract soya bean oil?
  • Previous studies on soya bean oil extraction using the screw press are very limited. Those studies investigated the effect of preheating seed moisture content, heating temperature, heating duration, screw press speed, and extraction pressure on soya bean oil yield (Akinoso et al., 2009).
  • What is the optimum pressing condition for soya bean oil extraction?
  • The lowest oil yield of 11.1 % was obtained for the conditions of 70 rpm screw shaft speed and 3 mm choke clearance. However, the screw speed of 110 rpm and choke clearance of 1 mm were considered to be the optimum pressing condition for soya bean oil extraction.
  • How is soybean oil extracted?
  • Two common soybean oil production processes are solvent extraction (chemical) and mechanical extraction using a screw press. The most conventional method is to extract oil by mechanical oil processing machines. The oil obtained from screw press, known as crude oil, usually undergoes a filtration process before being consumed as food.
  • What is the optimal screw press speed for soya bean oil extraction?
  • The following conclusions could be drawn from the results of the study: The screw choke clearance should be equal to or smaller than 1 mm to achieve high soya bean oil extraction efficiency. The optimal screw press speed was found to be 110 rpm for the screw press.
