  • What is expeller pressed canola oil?
  • Expeller pressed canola oil is oil that has been physically squeezed out of the seeds of the canola plant, using a machine known as an ‘expeller press’, as opposed to being solvent extracted. This oil comes at a premium price, because the expeller production process is more time consuming and expensive.
  • How to extract canola oil from seeds?
  • Expeller pressing is the main process of canola oil extraction from canola seeds. Chemical or solvent extraction using hexane is also used to extract the residual oil from the pressed cake. Before flaking of the seeds, they need to be softened (conditioned) by heating with steam to prevent the seeds from shattering during flaking.
  • How is canola oil pressed?
  • In Mechanical Press, Canola oilseeds are pressed in a series of Screw Presses / Expellers. This process uses no chemical and leaves about 5-7% oil in the residual Cake/Meal. This pressed cake can be subjected to Solvent Extraction for further Oil Extraction. Step 4. Solvent Extraction
  • What is canola oil?
  • Canola oil is oil that comes from the seeds of the canola plant. It is used in food manufacturing, personal care products and by chefs across the US and Canada. It has a light flavor and color, and is ideal for sautéing and frying. Conventional canola oil is produced using the industry standard of solvent extraction.
