African Shea Butter Properties Related to Common Extraction

  • How is shea butter extracted?
  • Extraction of shea butter from shea kernels can be done via either water extraction i.e. boiling with water, mechanical extraction, solvent extraction, or a combination of these processes. The traditional method of how shea butter is made involves water extraction – boiling the shea kernels with water and skimming off the released oils.
  • Does shea butter need solvent extraction?
  • For these reasons, solvent extraction is generally not preferred for shea butter extraction—especially in food and cosmetic markets where consumers seek natural, organic ingredients. What is shea oil?
  • Traditional water extraction, mechanical expeller pressing, and solvent extraction yield shea butter.
  • 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.
  • What is the mechanical press method of shea butter extraction?
  • The mechanical press method of shea butter extraction has been reported by FAO and CFC (2002) but one of the earliest researches works on the use of the mechanical press was Marchand (1988). His research revealed that equipped with a jack that exerts 30 tonnes of force, a shea butter press could crush more than 3 kg of shea kernels within 20 min.
