• What are oilseed presses used for?
  • Oilseed presses are used to separate oilseeds such as sunflowers, canola, and soybeans into oil and oilseed meal. Pumpkin or grape seeds and brazil nuts are examples of less common materials that can also be pressed for their oil in these machines. The oil extracted from the press is raw oil and can be used either as a food product or as an industrial product.
  • Does cold pressed soybean oil scavenge radicals?
  • On the contrary, cold pressed soybean oil was characterized by remarkably lower 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH¡¤) radical scavenging activity (17.4%) than cold pressed oils of hemp (76.2%), pumpkin seed (65.3%), rapeseed (51.2%), sunflower (23.8%), rice bran (23.7%), and flaxseed (19.3%) ( Siger et al., 2008 ).
  • Does cold pressed soybean oil contain -carotene?
  • Cold pressed soybean oil is characterized by lower ¦Â-carotene content (0.3¨C27.0 mg/kg) than cold pressed oils of linseed (150 mg/kg), pumpkin seed (5.5¨C150.0 mg/kg), rapeseed (1.7¨C80.0 mg/kg), corn (0.9¨C35.0 mg/kg), and flaxseed (0.7 mg/kg) ( Rafalowski et al., 2008; Tuberoso et al., 2007 ).
  • Are cold pressed soybean oils solvent-extracted?
  • Commercial soybean oils are commonly solvent-extracted and refined due to their high phosphatides contents. Hence, few studies exist on characterization of cold pressed soybean oils in the literature.
  • What is cold press oil processing?
  • Cold press oil processing is a method where heat exposure is minimized to offer the highest recovery of oil in a single pass. In oilseed processing, the primary goal is to extract as much oil as possible from the seed while consuming as little energy as possible. The result is two end products: oil and the leftover solids, traditionally called meal.
  • Is cold pressed soybean oil linoleic?
  • One of these studies revealed that cold pressed soybean oil consists of linoleic (50.8%), oleic (24.6%), palmitic (10.2%), linolenic (7.6%), stearic (3.7%), and vaccenic (1.5%) acids, and trace amounts of myristic, palmitoleic, heptadecanoic, arachidic, eicosenoic, behenic, erucic, and lignoceric acids ( Tuberoso et al., 2007 ).
