Classification

Oil pressing can be divided into hot pressing and cold pressing according to whether the material is subjected to heat treatment before pressing.

The edible vegetable oil in our daily life is mostly hot pressed oil, that it, before oil pressing, first cleaning, crushed and then heated by high temperature to make oil inside have a series of changes, destroy oil cells and promote the protein denaturation, reducing the viscosity of oil, to be suitable for oil pressing from and improving oil yield.

Hot Pressing

Hot pressing is to extract oil after seeds roasting, the smell is fragrant, the color is deep, and the yield is higher.

Advantages of hot pressing process

Residues left in the product are small and easy to store. And cold pressed seeds without frying, so the smell is poor, but the color is good. Both presses are solvent-free. Hot pressing: hot steaming, frying, seeds with peel oil pressing system. First of all, put raw materials into the pot for roasting, and then through the oil press machine to extract oil, the advantages of this process is that the oil is fragrant, oil yield is high, and oil residue is low.

Disadvantages of hot pressing process

But the color of crude oil processed by high temperature is dark, partial acid value increases, so the crude oil must be refined before cooking. At the same time, high temperature pressing makes a great loss of bio active substances (vitamin E, sterols, carotenoids, etc.) in oil, resulting in a waste of resources.

Cold Pressing

Cold pressed oil is pressed without heating or under low temperature condition. The extracted oil from the low temperature, the acid value is low, generally do not need refining, after sedimentation and filtration, can directly get the finished oil.

The normal cold pressing method is processed under the condition of less than 60℃, the nutrition component is kept most intact

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more people prefer cold pressed oil.

Advantages of cold pressing process

The cold pressed oilgenerally does not need to add additives, because it has not been destroyed, it can be stored for a long time. With relatively high market value. Cold pressed oil has pure natural characteristics, avoiding the adverse effects of traditional high temperature oil processing. In the cold pressed oil, the natural flavor and color of the oil are retained. The physiological active substances in the oil are preserved completely, and the cold pressed oil is with original flavor, which is the choice of healthy life. However, most of the oilseeds are not suitable for cold pressing, such as soybean, high erucic acid rapeseed, cottonseed, peanut, sesame and so on

Disadvantages of cold pressing process

Generally speaking, the point of cold pressing is low and the water content is unstable. The oil yield is low, only about half percent compared with hot pressing, cold pressing generally needs to crush materials, then the oil yield can be increased, sometimes also needs the two times pressing, even three times press.
