THE DESIGN, FABRICATION AND TESTING OF A SHEA NUT OIL
1.1 Shea Nut Shea nut is obtained from shea tree, and it grows mostly throughout West and Central Africa in the semi-arid Sahel areas from Senegal to Ethiopia (Lovett, 2000; Yonas, 2015). Shea nut hails from Sapotaceae family. Shea nut contains reasonably high amounts of oleic acids from which shea butter is extracted.

It is an important source of fat in food and cosmetics. It contains about 40-42% oil content. Usually this kind of nut contains special quality oil called shea butter. Shea nut oil is widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizer. Shea butter is edible and may be used in food preparation, or sometimes in the chocolate industry as a substitute for ...
Apart from shea nut oil or shea butter, shea nut meal will also be produced during the extraction process. Shea nut meal is the residue that remains after fat extraction from the harvested nuts, and fat extraction from shea nuts. Shea Nut Solvent Extraction Plant Process. Seed Cleaning; Cooking / Conditioning; Expelling; Solvent Extraction
Shea Butter Oil Extraction: Methods for Superior Quality
It also can be used to extract shea butter oil from the shea nut. The advantage of shea butter oil extraction technology by screw pressing method has large production capacity, high oil output, and continuous oil production. However, the color of oil and oil cake is deep and too many impurities in the oil, so, it requires oil refining process.
The extracted oil can be used for various purposes such as cooking, skincare, and industrial applications. This machine uses hydraulic pressure to extract oil from the seeds or nuts. It is a more advanced method of oil extraction and is suitable for larger scale production.

- 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').
- How do you use shea nut oil?
- Used topically, Shea Nut Oil easily sinks into the skin and leaves a silky, soft, non-greasy feel. It can be used directly on the face as a pampering cleansing oil. Dab a small portion of oil and massage throughout the face in gentle circular motions to dislodge makeup, trapped dirt, and excess sebum.
- How is shea butter extracted?
- About 30–33% of shea butter is extracted from the shea nuts with the mechanical expeller although combination of the mechanical with chemical methods has achieved 98% extraction efficiencies. The chemical extraction processes
- 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
- What is the mechanical press method of shea butter extraction?
- The mechanical press method of shea butter extraction has been reported by FAO and CFC (2002) but one of the earliest research on the use of the mechanical press was by Marchand (1988). His research revealed that equipped with a jack that exerts 30 tonnes of force, a shea butter press could crush more than 3 kg of shea kernels within 20 minutes.
- What is the best solvent for shea butter extraction?
- In a study conducted by Kar et al. (1981), on the best solvent for shea butter extraction, petroleum ether, n–hexane, chloroform, benzene, and water were employed. Hexane extraction gave the highest amount of fat from the kernel.
