Extracting oil from oilseeds is one of the most important food industries. Obtaining vegetable oils from oilseeds / oilseeds is done by various methods, of which the most used are the mechanical method (pressing) and the chemical method (solvent extraction). The oil obtained by pressing oilseeds is, in many ways, richer in vitamins, flavors, certain natural components, which make it much more suitable for human nutrition than vegetable oils obtained by other methods. Nowadays, it is experimented to obtain oil from as many seeds as possible that contribute to improving food quality. In the process of extracting oilseeds, there are several parameters that can influence the quality and quantity of oil, but in this paper, we chose to analyse the influence of humidity. Moisture is a parameter that can be measured and modified as needed. In this article, it is discussed that there is an optimal level of moisture content for each type of oilseed. The quantity of oil extracted, as well as the quality of the oil obtained are influenced by the geometric configuration of the press, by the process parameters of the equipment on the technological flow of obtaining the oil, as well as by the physical and mechanical characteristics of the oil materials. Therefore, we will analyse the existing research to see the field in which the largest amount of oil is obtained and what are the advantages and disadvantages of oil extraction at a certain value of moisture. In order to streamline the process of pressing oilseeds, an important factor is to determine the most effective point of moisture at which the oil content is the most. Of course, the moisture content acts and influences other parameters, and the recommendation is to study the raw material and do some tests before extracting the oil. The optimum moisture content is different for each type of oilseed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
