FAQ

  • Can rapeseed oil be extracted from ground flaxseed?
  • Lohani et al., 2015 , used an accelerated solvent extractor for the extraction of rapeseed and flaxseed oils from ground rapeseeds and ground flaxseeds, using ethyl acetate and hexane for comparison.
  • What is oilseed prepressing equipment?
  • Oilseed prepressing equipment is to extract edible oil by pressing. Common oil press machines are screw oil expeller and hydraulic oil expeller. Solvent extraction section is to extract edible oil from oil cakes or flakes by solvent. This extraction method can produce quality oil with large capacity & low cost.
  • What type of oil is rapeseed?
  • Rapeseed Brassica napus, commonly known as rapeseed or canola, is one of the world’s most abundant oil crops. It is a prehistoric crop thought to be first cultivated around 2000 BCE . The traditional varieties of these oilseeds produce an oil rich in erucic acid (up to 60%, known as HEAR (high erucic acid rapeseed) oil) .
  • Does rapeseed have erucic acid?
  • Rapeseed has been modified genetically into breeds producing LEAR (low erucic acid rapeseed) oil (5% erucic acid or less), first produced in Canada in 1968.
  • What solvent is used to extract oil from rapeseed?
  • According to the work published by Li et al. in 2014 , the extraction of oil from coarsely ground rapeseed was more promising using isopropanol (83.1%) and butanol (78.3%) than ethanol (22.8%) (analytical grade solvents).
  • Does water content affect rapeseed extraction yield?
  • Citeau et al., 2019 , studied the influence of water content in ethanol and isopropanol in the extraction of rapeseed constituents. Results show that a higher water content increases the GSL extraction yield but decreases the yield of the simultaneous extracted oil.
