  • How rapeseed meal is extracted from a press-cake?
  • The main steps of this process are seed cleaning, seed pre-conditioning, rolling and flaking, seed cooking and pressing to mechanically remove a portion of the oil, solvent extraction (hexane) of the press-cake to remove the remainder of the oil, desolventizing and toasting. Solvent-extracted rapeseed meal should not contain more than 2-3% oil.
  • What is rapeseed meal?
  • Rapeseed meal is a coarse powdery material, produced from rapeseed cake after series of preparatory physical processes followed by multistage extraction of oil under hygienically controlled conditions. Rapeseeds contain 40-45% oil and yield about 55-60% oil meal when fully extracted by crushing followed by solvent extraction.
  • What is solvent extractors Association of india?
  • The Solvent Extractors’ Association of india was formed in 1963 to help and foster the development and growth of Solvent Extraction Industry in india. At present the Association is having 875 members including about 350 working solvent extraction plants having combined oilcake/oilseed processing annual capacity of about 30 million tonnes.
  • How much oil is in rapeseed meal?
  • Solvent-extracted rapeseed meal should not contain more than 2-3% oil. Rapeseed meal contains approximately 40% of protein Max which rates among the nutritionally best plant proteins. For Monogastric diets it has better amino acid balance than soybean meal.
  • Why is rapeseed meal used in animal feed?
  • Rapeseed meal is used basically in animal feed due to its protein content of 36-38%.indian rapeseed meal is being used in india as an ingredient for cattle and poultry feed and also to many other Asian Countries for use in Animal Feed. Storage: Should be kept in cool & dry conditions below 25°C. Avoid exposure to Moisture, heat & light.
