Production of Non-Edible Oils and Their Cakes

Introduction

Non-edible Oils find increasing utility in diverse industries such as paints, varnishes, inks,
adhesives, lubricants, disinfectants, pharmaceuticals, soaps, cosmetics etc. Utilisation of non-edible
oils resources in India is relatively poor. In the point of large scale production of non-edible oils, the
main difficulty is that the resources are scattered in rural and forest areas, and organizing systematic
collection of Oil-bearing Seeds poses daunting challenges. Moreover these seeds are mainly
seasonable in the years as well as yield is highly varied due to climatic changes. The major
available non-edible oil seeds in southern India are Jatropa, Karanja, neem and Mahua. Generally
these seeds oil composition ranges 35-50%. The viability of any oil extraction unit considerably
depends on the sale of the oil cake, which is extensively used as fodder, bio-fertilizer, organic manure
and other sub-products. Hence, the location of the unit has to be essentially in those areas where the
raw material is locally available in abundance.

Market potential
It has enormous depend in the demand in local market as direct usage in the
agriculture application like pesticides, fertilizer and organic manure. In addition industrial
application for products developments like pharmaceuticals, soaps and cosmetics (skin care,
hair care, body care product). Recently, researchers successfully proved that non-edible oils
had a potential to convert the biofuels as biodiesel, lubrication oils, coolants and seed husks
to briquettes. Overall this process provides zero waste and non pollution process.

Oil Extraction and Expression Methods:

In order to get high quality edible oil, various processing techniques are used. The
process of obtaining oil from seeds involves the separation of oil from oil-bearing material by
various operations such as cleaning, dehulling, grinding, pressing, refining, purified oil and
oil cake.

A typical oil extraction process is as follows:

Storage

Cleaning
 Dehulling

Grinding or rolling

Heating

Pressing -- oil cakes

Refining -- impurities

Purified non-Edible Oil Oil cake
