  • Is double flaking necessary in soybean extraction?
  • Double flaking is not needed in any of the processes. The difference between soybean extraction and soft seed extraction is that the oil content of the oil seeds is reduced by expeller presses prior to solvent extraction. This becomes necessary because solvent extractors are not in a position to cope with the high oil content in an economical way.
  • How to prepare high-oil seed for expelling or direct extraction?
  • The preparation of high-oil seed for expelling or direct extraction is in some steps similar to preparation system for soybeans described in Section 2 above. The oil content in the ¡°soft seeds¡± is higher than in soybeans (it is around 40% +). Therefore, there is an additional process step for pressing needed in the dehulling system.
