  • How is shea nut oil made?
  • The process of making Shea Nut Oil is similar to the production process of other fractionated carrier oils. The raw Shea Butter pressed from the Shea nut undergoes a process known as fractionation, which allows its liquid oil (the 'olein') to separate from the heavier components (the 'stearin').
  • Who is the largest Shea Nut processor in Ghana?
  • Since 2006, GSFIL has grown to become the largest processor of shea nuts in Ghana, manufacturing shea oils and butter. With a processing capability of upwards of 25,000 tonnes a year, making it the biggest shea nut processor in Ghana.
  • How is oil extracted in oil milling plant?
  • In former times, oil extraction was done exclusively with presses. In most oil milling plant, oil extraction is done with expellers as pre extraction before solvent extraction or as direct press extraction.
  • What is the difference between oil extraction and mechanical oil pressing?
  • In most oil milling plant, oil extraction is done with expellers as pre extraction before solvent extraction or as direct press extraction. Mechanical oil pressing is to extract the oil by certain oil pressing machine from the oil material by physics pressure, all the courses are without any chemical additive.
  • Does a single pressing machine require chemical treatment for oil extraction?
  • The use of a single pressing machine doesn’t require chemical treatment for oil extraction. The major advantage in using a single pressing machine is that it greatly increases the oil yield. The resulting oil’s quality is high, as it is pure and healthy from not being chemically treated.
