Hot pressing sunflower oil involves pre-processing sunflower seeds through steps such as roasting or cooking at high-temperature (60°C to 120°C), enhancing the oil’s fragrance and oxidative stability. This effectively breaks down sunflower seed structure for pressing.
How is sunflower oil pressed?
Sunflower oil can be pressed using either cold-pressed or hot-pressed methods. Cold pressing sunflower oil involves oil extraction through physical mechanical means without heating, or at low temperatures (<40°C). This entire process occurs at a low temperature, resulting in a lower oil yield but preserving the authentic taste of the seeds.
What is a sunflower oil press machine?
This is a mechanical method (An oil press machine) used for extracting oil, suitable for both large-scale and small-scale production of sunflower oil. It can be used for the initial processing of sunflower seeds to extract oil and leave behind oil cake. Sunflower oil can be pressed using either cold-pressed or hot-pressed methods.
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.
