What is synchronous pressing and refining of rapeseed oil?
A new method for rapeseed oil preparation named synchronous pressing and refining after solid-phase preadsorption technology was investigated. Rapeseed and adsorbents were first mixed evenly to form premixes, and the product oils were then obtained by direct pressing and filtering.
How rapeseed oil is extracted by cold pressing compared to Soxhlet Method?
The crude oil extraction degree achieved by cold pressing was 60.8% compared to the Soxhlet method. The rapeseed oil contains predominantly oleic, linoleic, linolenic, and palmitic acids, agreeing with other reported rapeseed oils.
How much rapeseed oil can be extracted by cold pressing?
A nozzle diameter of 10 mm, a screw frequency of 50 Hz, and a press head temperature of 80 °C ensured the maximum pressed rapeseed oil yield of 26.65% within the applied experimental domain. The crude oil extraction degree achieved by cold pressing was 60.8% of the rapeseed oil yield obtained by the Soxhlet method.
How is refined palm oil produced?
To produce refined palm oil (RPO), the objectionable impurities in the CPO are removed to obtain the required levels using two main methods: chemical or alkali refining and physical refining methods. Either of these is followed by fractionation as a final purification process to separate the oil into stearin and olein components.
