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.

Shea Butter Oil Extraction: Methods for Superior Quality

Shea nut is the fruit of African shea tree. Like avocado, shea nut has delicious flesh. The fat contained in the kernel of shea nut is shea butter, which takes up about 40% ~ 55%. Each mature shea tree produces only 15 to 20 kilograms of shea per year, which can only survive on the African continent due to climatic and plantation reasons.

As the applications for shea oil and other byproducts continue to expand, while shea oil and shea butter extraction methods evolve, processors must continue to increase their capacity, quality, and efficiency. Processing plants can tap into massive profits in this market by optimizing methods and machinery to produce the highest quality shea ...

Shea Nut Extraction Plant, A Case Study, Kumar Metal Industries

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. Kumar first supplied our flagship 130-140 TPD Xpress model Expeller with a 5 stage cooker to GSFIL in 2008 ...

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).

  • 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
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
