General Cooking oil Extraction Process

The extraction process might vary depending on the raw material you have access to. The general extraction process for most seeds is as outlined below:

The process begins by cleaning the nuts to remove dirt and any unwanted solids.

In the case of nuts and seeds the shells are then removed mechanically.

The seeds are then crushed leaving you with a cake.

The cake is then heated to facilitate the extraction of oil.

After heating the cake is pressed to separate the liquid oil from the solid cake.

At this stage solvents may be added to remove additional oil.

Finally, the oil is refined to get rid of bitterness, and undesired color and odor before being packaged.
