  • 6yl-125 sunflower rapeseeds oil extraction in cape town
  • How screw press conditions affect rapeseed oil yield?
  • The operating screw pressing conditions can significantly affect the oil yield from rapeseed. For a given screw press and seed, the main factors affecting the rapeseed oil yield are nozzle diameter, head press temperature, and screw frequency.
  • 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.
  • How is rapeseed oil extracted?
  • The extraction of the seed oil was done in triplicate. The oil content of the seeds was 40.9?±?0.1%. The rapeseed oil was obtained using an oil screw press (Model SPU 20, Elektromotor-?imon, Senta, Serbia) using various nozzle diameters (8¨C12 mm), temperatures of the press head (40¨C80 °C), and screw frequencies (40¨C60 Hz).
  • How to maximize rapeseed oil yield?
  • In the present study, the optimization aimed to maximize rapeseed oil yield by selecting the suitable screw pressing conditions, i.e., the best nozzle diameter, press head temperature, and screw frequency in the applied experimental domain, by employing the desirability function method.
