FAQ

  • How to process shea nut kernels?
  • For processing Shea nut kernels, we need a combination of mechanical pressing unit ( Oil Mill ) and solvent extraction plant (SEP). The following are steps involved in Shea Butter Extraction Plant : Shea nut kernels are separated and cleaned to remove impurities such as dust, metal, plant stalks.
  • How is shea butter extracted?
  • About 30–33% of shea butter is extracted from the shea nuts with the mechanical expeller although combination of the mechanical with chemical methods has achieved 98% extraction efficiencies. The chemical extraction processes
  • What are the steps involved in shea butter extraction plant?
  • The following are steps involved in Shea Butter Extraction Plant : Shea nut kernels are separated and cleaned to remove impurities such as dust, metal, plant stalks. The cleaning process can reduce equipment friction, ensure safe operation, reduce butter loss, improve life of wear parts, increase yield and improve butter and meal quality.
  • 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 research on the use of the mechanical press was by 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 minutes.
  • What is the best solvent for shea butter extraction?
  • In a study conducted by Kar et al. (1981), on the best solvent for shea butter extraction, petroleum ether, n–hexane, chloroform, benzene, and water were employed. Hexane extraction gave the highest amount of fat from the kernel.
  • How to refine shea butter?
  • Crude shea butter obtained from the extraction process undergoes many refining steps. The process of how to refine shea butter begins with pretreatment and bleaching, which is followed by deodorisation and deacidification to obtain refined shea butter.
