Seed Oil Extraction
The seed oil extraction could be achieved either by pressing (for seeds and nuts) or boiling (for fruit), by solvent extraction, or by a combination of the two. The oil is skimmed after boiling and filtered after pressing. Hexane is typically used for this purpose. The recovered solvent/oil mixture is called miscella and the extracted flakes spent flake or cake.
Solvent extraction is a common method for removal of seed oil extraction, with traditional solvent extraction methods requiring large volumes of solvent (typically several hundred milliliters) and long extraction times (8-16 h). Solvent extraction generally consists of a sequence of four operations:
- Physical removal of oil from the feedstock (seed, husk, etc.) in the extractor.
- Desolventising-toasting of the de-oiled meal, often combined with heating and cooling of the meal.
- Distillation, to remove the solvent of the extracted oil
- Recovery of the solvent for re-use in the reactor.
