Shea Butter Extraction Plant
The pressed cake/meal containing about 15% to 18% butter is then processed by Solvent Extraction to bring down residual oil content to less than 1.5%. This De-oiled cake with less than 1.5% residual butter is used as a fuel for combustion in a boiler for steam generation. This is another speciality of GOYUM Shea Butter Extraction Plant.
Shea butter is ideal for use as a raw material for cooking oil, margarine, cosmetics, soap, detergents and candles due to the presence of solid fat (stearin) and liquid oil (olein) and is used extensively in food industries. General treatment of shea fruits prior to shea butter extraction. Shea butter processing is a seasonal affair. Fruiting ...

- How many raw shea nuts are produced in Africa?
- Africa produces approximately 1,760,000 metric tons (MT) of raw shea nuts a year, and historically, most of this stayed within the African continent to supply domestic demand. The shea export market traditionally traded raw shea kernels rather than shea butter or other finished products.
- What is a shea nut kernel?
- The kernel is the oil-bearing material that can be obtained by processing the shea nut fruit. The fruit primarily undergoes several processes - de-pulping, boiling, drying, deshelling, winnowing and sorting - to obtain the kernel from which the shea butter is extracted. Mechanical processing technology
- How is shea oil extracted?
- As a result, many shea producers are adopting more mechanized solutions to improve quality and yield. Larger processors use mechanical extraction equipment to recover more oil efficiently. Screw press expellers physically crush the shea kernels to squeeze out shea oil from the solid meal, which exits the expeller as a cake.
- Where does a shea tree grow?
- Although it only grows in a limited swath of sub-Saharan African parklands, the wild shea tree supplies the entire world with enough shea nuts to meet the growing demand for both shea oil and shea butter.
- Does shea butter need solvent extraction?
- For these reasons, solvent extraction is generally not preferred for shea butter extraction—especially in food and cosmetic markets where consumers seek natural, organic ingredients. What is shea oil? Traditional water extraction, mechanical expeller pressing, and solvent extraction yield shea butter.
- How is shea butter fractionated?
- Once refined, shea butter can be fractionated into two parts: a creamy fat known as shea stearin and a liquid oil called shea olein—otherwise known as shea oil. Fractionation separates these two unique components using either a chemical reagent or physical methods like centrifugation.
