Opis

This book covers technology of vegetable oil extraction including theory, process technologies used for various oilseeds, machinery operation and design aspects. Pertinent topics are covered under two parts as mechanical expression and solvent extraction. Importance of each preparation operation is explained as related to oilseed structure outlining differences in quality of prepared material from various oilseeds. It also covers modern press designs, effect of each unit operation on final product quality, levels of safety and precautions in plant operation, novel technologies used by the industry.

Features:

• Provides comprehensive coverage of veg oil extraction technology, as applicable to major and minor oil-bearing materials.
• Explains effects of each of the seed preparation steps on cell structure, and how it improves oil extraction.
• Describes mechanical expression technology in detail, including design aspects of Presses and seed preparation equipment.
• Discusses extraction plant safety, plat automation, and discussion of utilities.
• Explores design of solvent extraction process equipment, including Extractor, Desolventiser, Distillation and support.

This book is aimed at professionals and researchers in chemical and food engineering.
