  • How is sunflower crushed for oil recovery?
  • 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.
  • Which extraction method is best for sunflower seeds?
  • Therefore, prepress solvent extraction, with the highest oil recovery yield, is the process method utilized today for the majority of the sunflower seed that is crushed globally.
  • Is sunflower a major oilseed crop in Pakistan?
  • Sunflower became a major oilseed crop in Pakistan. Pakistan is facing a shortage of edible oil. Need to improve the oil and seed yield of sunflower. Correlation study is necessary to find out the relationship between two traits. Path analysis tells about the direct and indirect effect of different traits on yield and on yield related traits.
