Earlier methods to recover the oil used hydraulic pressing (28). In a Japanese system for pressing, the raw bran is cleaned by sifting and air classification to remove whole and broken grains and huUs, and, in some instances, to recover rice germ. The bran is then steam cooked, dried, prepressed, and finally expeller pressed.

Several research groups have investigated the oxidative stability of walnut oil and have shown that it is readily oxidizable. Demir and Cetin (36) investigated the oxidative stability of expeller-pressed and hexane-extracted walnut oil at...

An attempt to digest the associated fiber of coconut cake was made by using T. viride cellulase preparation, Meicelase. Two kinds of coconut cake from the Central Food Technological Research Institute, India were used as samples, namely brown and white materials which had been obtained in the form of a fine powder through an expeller-press and Krauss-Muffei processes, respectively. When the brown coconut cake was incubated with 0.5% Meicelase P solution at a concentration of 5% in a reaction mixture at 40°C., nearly 80% of the initial fiber was decomposed in 48 hr. Furthermore, it was found that more than 50% (more... 

Oil seeds are dried at first to a water content of about 10% to avoid enzymatic hydrolysis. Then they are expelled (pressed) to a fat content of 20%. The ex-peller cake is extracted with hydrocarbons, usually hexane, and is later removed from the oil with water steam. Hexane solubility in water is only 0.1%. Bleaching of the raw oils occurs with aluminum silicates containing montmorillonite at approximately 60°C. Deodorization is the final step in the purification of the fatty raw materials from plants and occurs essentially by steam distillation. 

If you are using flaxseed oil, take one to two capsules twice a day or one tablespoon of flax oil each day I recommend Barlean s Flax Oil or Health from the Sun Total EFA, which has a mixture of oils, not just flax. If you re taking oil rather than capsules, keep the liquid refrigerated, and—since some manufacturing methods can destroy the nutrient value—make sure you buy only opaque bottles of oil marked expeller-pressed at low temperatures. The methods 1 prefer go by proprietary names such as Bio-Electron Process, Spectra-Vac, and Omegaflo. 

Oilseeds are cmshed, Upid-protein bonds are destroyed by steaming, and the resnlt-ing material is expeller-pressed. Cakes obtained in this operation stiU contain 10 to 25% oil. Therefore, they are extracted with a solvent, primarily hexane. Other solvents are possible, bnt hydrocarbon solvents are cheaper. The extracted meal still contains 2 to 3% lipids but because it is used as feed, the residual lipids are utilized and are not objectionable. Crude oils obtained by expeller pressing and solvent extraction are usually mixed and refined. The first refining step in the removal of phospholipids (see Chapter 5) is the process called degumming. 

Instead of traditional mayonnaise, try vegan brands made with expeller-pressed canola oil. Instead of margarine, shortening, or butter, try soy- or canola-oil based substitutes. 

The latest of the different oils to be the darlings of the cooking world are cold or expeller pressed tree nut oils, more particularly hazelnut oil, walnut oil and almond oil. Most nut oils taste like the nut from which they were extracted. They make a delicious, tasty, unique flavour statement, even when blended in a small amount to mild-flavoured food oil such as canola. Not only do the nut oils add great flavour to food, they also carry health benefits because of a similar co-fatty acid balance as olive oil. Nut oils in general are excellent used in salad dressing, over pasta with some cheese, in baked goods or for dipping French bread into (Table 9.1.8). 

Three types of processing systems are used to extract oil from oil-bearing materials expeller pressing, prepress solvent extraction, and direct solvent extraction. Only prepress solvent extraction and direct solvent extraction, which remove the oil from the conditioned, prepared seed with an organic solvent, will be discussed here (see Figure 14.10.1). Oil-bearing materials have to be prepared for extraction to separate the crude oil from the... 

Sesame oil is usually obtained by expeller pressing of roasted or unroasted sesame seeds. The oil from roasted seeds does not require extensive refining, the suspended meal... 

The vegetable oils from seeds and beans are typicaUy obtained by both physical extraction (mechanical expeller pressing) and chemical extraction, usually with hexane as a solvent (a petroleum-derived fraction without any aromatic hydrocarbons) and by a combination of both processes. If the seed oil content is lower than 25%, the oil is obtained by direct extraction. From seeds with higher... 

Cocoa butter (also called cacao butter and theobroma oil) is produced commonly by three methods hydraulic pressing, extrusion or expeller pressing, and solvent extraction. Cocoa butter produced by the first two methods has a faint chocolate flavor and aroma that can be removed by steam distillation under vacuum it is brittle at temperatures below 25°C and melts at 34-35°C. ... 

Modem processing of oilseeds is normally carried out by a combination of expelling (pressing) and - extracting. Oil content of the cake after e. is normally 20%. The following extraction brings it down to 1-2%.
