  • How to optimise shea butter production by mechanical extraction?
  • Shea butter (SB) production by mechanical extraction (ME) was optimised by box-behnken (BB) experimental design of response surface methodology (RSM). The process parameters studied (with their ranges) were sample weight (100 – 200 g), temperature (60 – 120C) and duration of applied pressure (10 – 30 min) to optimise the yield of SB.
  • How is shea butter extracted?
  • About 30–33% of shea butter is extracted from the shea nuts with the mechanical expeller (Abdul–Mumeen, 2013) although combination of the mechanical with chemical methods has achieved 98% extraction efficiencies (Abdul– Mumeen, 2013).
  • Can a centrifugal process be used to extract shea butter?
  • Experimental study of shea butter extraction efficiency using a centrifugal process. Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences 4 (6):14-19. CRIG (2002).

  • How to extract shea butter in Ghana?
  • Recent studies by Didia et al. (2018) suggest that enzymes technology is the way for shea butter extraction in Ghana. An aliquot equivalent to 50 g of shea nut biomass in 600 mL beaker was stirred with water in the ratio of 1:4 wt/vol and treated with commercial enzymes at optimized conditions.
