Extraction efficiencies of 80% are common with good quality shea nuts. Typical industrial shea butter extraction involves expelling the oil from steam-heated kernels, usually followed by solvent extraction of the residue and fractionation into olein and stearin portions of the butter.
How is shea butter fractionated?
Once refined, shea butter can be fractionated into two parts: a creamy fat known as shea stearin and a liquid oil called shea olein¡ªotherwise known as shea oil. Fractionation separates these two unique components using either a chemical reagent or physical methods like centrifugation.
Does shea butter need solvent extraction?
For these reasons, solvent extraction is generally not preferred for shea butter extraction¡ªespecially in food and cosmetic markets where consumers seek natural, organic ingredients. What is shea oil? Traditional water extraction, mechanical expeller pressing, and solvent extraction yield shea butter.
Why do we need a shea butter extraction cooperative?
Besides this, handcraft butter has a niche market, especially in the cosmetic industry. Hence, shea butter extraction cooperatives should be resourced adequately with modern state-of-the-art kneading equipment to reduce the labourious nature of the kneading process and by extension enable them to process more shea kernel per day.
