  • How does seed processing affect oil extraction?
  • Good seed processing results in high extraction yields (low residual oil content after extraction) and high-quality products (crude oil and meal) while keeping production costs low. In fact, the efficiency of oil extraction is strongly influenced by seed processing.
  • What is oilseed processing?
  • It considers the nutritional composition and functional properties. Oilseeds processing generates several by-products which in this chapter are divided in two groups: first, those come from unprocessed oilseeds (shells, leaves, petals, stalks, pollen, heads and pith), and second, those come from processed oilseeds (cake).
  • What extraction techniques are used for oil recovery from oilseeds?
  • Various extraction techniques and importance of solvent choice for oil recovery from oilseed are discussed. Mechanical, aqueous, enzymatic, supercritical CO 2 and hexane extraction of important oilseeds are reviewed. Recent developments in crude oil refining processes are also included in this chapter.
  • What are the main aims of oilseed preparation?
  • The main aims of the oilseed preparation include: weakening or breaking the walls of the oil-containing cells, increasing the oil extraction by pressing seeds with a high oil content before solvent extraction and shaping the material to facilitate solvent access to the oil .
