  • What is solvent extraction?
  • Solvent extraction is now used universally either as a ‘finishing’ unit operation after low-pressure expellers, or as the sole process for extraction of oil, for most oilseeds. The present-day world scenario in vegetable oil extraction is dominated by solvent extraction.
  • When was solvent extraction first used?
  • In United States, solvent extraction was adopted on a major scale during the decade preceding World War II to extract oil from soybeans primarily. The first use of a batch solvent extractor was reported in 1855 in France, where carbon disulfide was employed to extract oil from spent presscakes of olive (Kemper, 2005).
  • How is oil extracted from seed?
  • In solvent extraction, seed is brought into contact with a solvent which dissolves the oil, the oil-rich solvent phase (miscella) is then separated from the oil-free seed mass (known as the ‘marc’) by a simple filtration technique, and the oil is recovered by distilling off the low-boiling solvent.
  • How is oil extracted?
  • Oil can be extracted by pressing softeroilseeds and nuts, such as groundnuts andshea nuts, whereas harder, more fibrousmaterials such as copra and sunflowerseed are processed using ghanis. Pulpedor ground material is loaded into a manualor hydraulic press to squeeze out the oil-water emulsion.
  • How did humans extract oil?
  • Humans have extracted oil from various oil-bearing materials (seeds) for food pur-poses from time immemorial. While it is quite likely that the first attempts could have been to hammer seeds with stones to extract some oil, the widely used primitive method was boiling seeds in water and skim off the extracted oil (Bredeson, 1983).
  • How to remove oil from raw materials?
  • There are basically three methods of removing oil from the raw materials: solvent extraction,wet processing or dry processing. Solvent extraction is not suitable for small-scale processingbecause of high capital and operating costs, the risk of fire and explosions from solvents andthe complexity of the process.
