oilseed processing

Oilseed processing involves extracting oils from seeds like soybeans, sunflower, or canola. The seeds are cleaned and then mechanically crushed or pressed to release the oil, often followed by solvent extraction for maximum yield. The remaining meal, rich in protein, is used for animal feed. The extracted oil is then refined to remove impurities, improve clarity, and ensure it's suitable for cooking or industrial uses. This process efficiently transforms raw seeds into valuable products, balancing oil extraction and byproduct utilization.
