FAQ

  • What is rapeseed oil based on?
  • Based on a biorefinery, the plant not only delivers high-grade, pre-raffinate-quality rapeseed oil, but also a high-grade, protein-rich rapeseed kernel concentrate, secondary plant substances dissolved in ethanol and rapeseed hulls, which represent further products.
  • How rapeseed is de-hulled?
  • In the de-hulling plant, the rapeseed (left) is first crushed and the lighter hulls (right) are separated from the heavier kernels (center). Alongside soybean, rapeseed is the most important oil globally, and rapeseed oil is also the most popular cooking oil in Germany.
  • Where can I test rapeseed from industrial oil mills?
  • The EthaNa ® pilot plant at Fraunhofer CBP is now available for test runs with the rapeseed from industrial oil mills, to provide product samples on a larger scale. New systems can also be integrated into the existing infrastructure at oil mills as alternative processing lines.
  • What is Ethana rapeseed oil extraction?
  • Instead, the EthaNa process uses ethanol, an alcohol, which was proven to be optimal in the researchers’ studies. In a process referred to as displacement extraction, small droplets of the rapeseed oil from the ground kernel are emulsified in the ethanol phase at mild 70°C.
  • Can rapeseed be used as a livestock feed?
  • Further research work, for example on how the rapeseed proteins can be obtained to manufacture food, has already begun as part of a new EU project. The rapeseed concentrate is also considered a high-grade livestock feed. Rapeseed meal from conventional oil mills is already used as feed for pigs, poultry and cattle.
  • Can rape kernels be used for oil production?
  • The low fiber content means conventional mechanical pressing for producing oil from de-hulled rape kernels is not an option. Instead, the EthaNa process uses ethanol, an alcohol, which was proven to be optimal in the researchers’ studies.
