Question

preparation of mursterd oil point

Answer 1

The mustard seeds are dried in the sun. This step is essential in removing any water that could deteriorate the extraction process.

The dried mustard seeds are then cleaned whereby all the dirt and foreign objects are removed from the mustard seeds to ensure the extracted oil is pure and of high quality.

The mustard seeds are then heated before the extraction process starts. Heating the seeds increases the quantity of the yield. The process also increases availability of protein in the by-product seed cake that is used for making animal feeds.

The seeds are immediately fed into the mustard oil machine where the seeds are crushed and pressed for up to one hour or more depending on the quantity to produce approximately 26 percent oil. The crushing and pressing is continued further to extract all the oil from the seed cake.

The final step involves filtering the extracted oil to remove impurities from the oil before the oil is bottled and stored.
