A Complete Guide to Shea Oil and Shea Butter Extraction

The shea tree provides a vital source of income for millions of indigenous women who collect fallen fruit from the wild trees. Although it represents a smaller market (in terms of volume) compared to other commodity oilseeds and nuts, shea’s enduring popularity and irreplaceable benefits are fueling its growth trajectory over the coming years.

The results in Table 2 show that shea butter oil can classified as a non-drying oil because of its low iodine value. Asuquo et al. (2012) notes that non-drying oils have iodine values less than 100. The iodine value of shea butter oil is lower than those of sunflower (110-143), castor oil (83.75) and soybeans (120-143).
