  • We are a major supplier of oilseeds and oilseed products and a leading exporter from the world¡¯s main growing regions. Oilseeds We are an important supplier of rapeseed, with our largest producer networks in the main export regions of Canada, Australia and Europe. We are a major supplier of sustainable rapeseed and high oleic rapeseed.
  • Is expeller pressing better than solvent extraction?
  • However, both methods have some major pitfalls to overcome: a lower oil yield with expeller pressing compared to solvent extraction can make the process economically disadvantageous, and the use of organic solvents brings environmental concerns.
  • How can a peanut seed extract be destabilized?
  • Cream from peanut seed extraction was also destabilized using alkaline protease, achieving a 65% free oil yield. This was a steep increase compared to the cream from the control, which had less than a 5% free oil yield . Additionally, enzymes can be used to increase protein recovery from the skim layer.
  • How to extract oleaginous seeds without solvent?
  • The oil extraction by mechanical pressing is the most common method for continuous treatment of oleaginous seeds without solvent. Different types of presses can be used depending on the purpose (expeller, expander, and twin-screw extruder) and on the capacity range (3 kg h ?1 to 150 t day ?1).
  • Why do we need improved cultivars for vegetable oil extraction?
  • Limited land availability and growing demands for vegetable oils call for the development of improved cultivars for harnessing higher yields as well as more efficient oil extraction technologies to augment oil recovery from different oilseed crops without compromising with the oil quality.
