• How much CSO is in cottonseed oil?
  • Clean and dry cottonseeds are used in oil extraction, and it contains 15¨C20% CSO depending on the quality and varieties. Oil percent is also dependent on weather, growth, and maturity of cottonseed, and oil yield also varies from the season to season and place to place of cottonseed varieties.
  • Does Mae improve oil yield and quality?
  • Taghvaei et al. (2014) have obtained 32.6 percent of oil yield in 3.5 min; whereas in soxhlet extraction 34.7 percent of oil was extracted in 16 h. This study shows the efficiency of MAE in improved oil yields and quality at very meager times rather than the conventional longer incubation time.
  • How to optimize oil extraction method and solvent for different crop oilseeds?
  • To optimize the efficient oil extraction method and solvent pertinent to different crop oilseeds and OM, a basic understanding on structure of oilseeds is required. Table 12.1. Oil content and specific energy density of varied oilseeds. Oilseeds comprises of three basic units such as seed coat, embryo and one or more food structures.
  • Does pressure cooking increase cottonseed processing profits?
  • Pressure cooking contributes increased cottonseed processing profits. Chemistry Metall. Eng., 44, 978¨C981. Terzaghi, K. (1925). Erbaudmechanik auf bodenphysikalischer Grundlage. Wien: Deuticke. Tostenson, K., Wiesenborn, D. P., Zheng, Y. L., Lipp, D., Kangas N. (2004). Start-up approaches and performance monitoring for screw-pressing flaxseed oil.
  • Does water content affect rapeseed oil yield?
  • For the rapeseed, a decrease in oil yield with higher water content was observed in continuous pressing (Grosleron 2009; Vadke and Sosulski 1988), while in discontinuous process (in the same range of water content), the oil yield increases (Koo 1942; Lanoisell¨¦ 1995).
  • How does seed production affect oil extraction process?
  • The increase in the quantity of seed being slightly lower than the increase in oil production, it demonstrates an improvement of oil extraction processes. Generally, the oil extraction is based on two main steps: pressing (solid¨Cliquid expression) and solvent extraction.
