This chapter covers the technology used for processing peanut oil. It starts by explaining the pretreatment technology and peanut pressing technology for high temperature and cold pressing peanut oil. It then discusses the peanut oil extraction technology, which includes leaching and separation technology.
How is cold-pressed peanut oil produced?
After being filtered with a frame filter, the cold-pressed crude oil is processed to obtain the product oil, which is then packaged by a filling machine to form cold-pressed peanut oil products ( Fig. 3.8 ). Figure 3.8 illustrates the equipment used for cold pressing of peanut oil.
What equipment is used for cold pressing of peanut oil?
Figure 3.8 shows the equipment used for cold pressing of peanut oil. First, a sheller is used to shell the peanuts. Then, the peanut kernels are transported to the low-temperature drying oven for drying after being subjected to precleaning, gravity/magnetic separation, and de-stoner cleaning.
Is cold pressed oil better than expeller press?
Hi Elizabeth, cold pressed oils typically provide more health benefits because there is less heat involved in the process, resulting in an oil with more nutrients and antioxidants. kindly clarify between cold press and expeller press. Hi! Expeller generates much higher heat during the process. Whereas cold-press doesn't get above 122.
