In general terms, oil extraction refers to the process of obtaining oils from animal products, fruits, or even oilseeds. The process is carried out either through rendering, mechanical pressing, or industry-wide application of volatile solvents.
CAS 110-54-3 N-Hexane is a powerful solvent. Food-grade hexane is used all over the world to extract oil from seeds, and it is safe to use.
How does the hexane extraction process work?
Hexane extraction is the standard method for obtaining oils/fats from seeds (soybean, canola, etc.). The steps are:
- Seed Preparation: Cleaning, dehulling, flaking, and conditioning to rupture oil cells.
- Solvent Extraction: Flakes are percolated with hexane in a counter-current extractor, dissolving the oil into "miscella."
- Separation: Miscella (oil + hexane) is separated from spent flakes (which are desolventized for animal feed).
- Distillation: Miscella is heated under vacuum; hexane evaporates (boiling point ~69°C) and is condensed for reuse.
- Crude Oil Recovery: After hexane removal, crude vegetable oil is sent for refining.
