• Does mustard oil extraction plant contribute to GWP & hp?
  • Conclusions In this study, through investigation and analysis of mustard oil extraction plant at an Indian firm was carried through life cycle assessment. Results of this study indicate that the seed + seed cleaning machine and oil filteration & packaging are the primary contributor to GWP, HP, POCP, and HTP.
  • Can edible oil be extracted from mustard seeds in India?
  • This study applies LCA of extraction of edible oil from mustard seeds in India, where the edible oil industry has undergone major changes to a large extent due to trade liberalization. India has shifted from almost self-sufficient cooking oil to import dependence to meet domestic consumer demand.
  • What is a mustard oil extractor?
  • Extractors are used for efficient oil extraction from the crushed mustard seeds. They typically use solvents like hexane to maximize oil recovery. This equipment removes the solvent used in the extraction process, leaving behind the purified mustard oil.
  • Can life cycle assessment assess environmental impact of mustard oil extraction process?
  • Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used to quantify the potential environmental impact of a process. The present study assessed the environmental hotspots of mustard oil extraction process from mustard seeds using a life cycle assessment (LCA) method.
  • How to measure environmental impact of extracting edible oil from mustard seeds?
  • There is currently no known research that takes a full life cycle assessment (LCA) method to measuring the environmental impact assessment of extracting edible oil from mustard seeds from gate to gate analysis. In addition, LCA in the Indian context cannot be conducted since there is no central repository.
  • How to make mustard oil safe?
  • A well-equipped facility is essential for efficient and safe operations: Invest in mustard oil extraction machinery, including expellers, filters, and refining equipment. Ensure they meet industry standards for quality and safety. Construct storage tanks for both raw materials (mustard seeds) and finished products (mustard oil).
