Oil produced from Ghana Shea Nut crop for prospective
processes of the oil extraction [13]. Therefore, this study was to extract and characterise oil derived from the Ghana Shea Nut crop. A solvent extraction method was applied for the extraction of the oil at different extraction temperatures and times. Kinetic and thermodynamic models were employed
Solvent Extraction. The Shea nut cake Cake solvent extracted either pre Pressed cake or full pressed cake. The Pre pressed cake / fully pressed cake from preparatory section is carried by Redler Conveyor and fed to Extractor Either through rotary valve or Plug O Seal to extractor feed hopper incorporated with high and low level arrangement to ensure proper level of material filled in the Hope ...
Protocol for extracting oil from Ghana shea nuts using
Solvent extraction is the most efficient technique for extracting oils of higher quality for prospective industrial and commercial applications. Here, we present a protocol for extracting oil from Ghana shea nuts using this technique. We describe steps for drying and milling kernels; oil extraction, …
To assess the oil obtained from the shea nuts for personal, commercial, and industrial use, this study focuses on the extraction process, the optimal solvent for extraction, thermodynamics and ...
Effects of Extraction Methods on the Yield and Quality
The refractive indices 1.464±0.01 and 1.461±0.01 were observed for solvent and traditional methods, respectively at temperature of 20°C. The observed value for the solvent extraction method is higher than that for the traditional method because of the more viscous appearance of the Shea butter oil extracted by solvent method.
Shea butter oil was studied with aim of determining the most suitable method for use by rural processors based on oil yield and quality characteristics. This was done by comparing results of physical, chemical and sensory properties of oil extracted by Solvent Extraction Method (SEM) and Traditional Extraction Method (TEM). Results showed that ...

- How to extract n-hexane from a shea nut?
- In the experiment, 30g of 0.45mm particle size of the prepared shea nut particles was placed in a wrapped cloth (handkerchief) in place of the thimble and placed into the received portion of the soxhlet extractor. 150ml of n-hexane was poured into the flask and placed on an electro thermal heating mantle.
- How are dried shea nuts made?
- Dried shea nuts were purchased from Bida, in Niger State. The nuts were cracked and the Shea seed was further sun-dried before it was dried scientifically using Hot Air Seed Dryer to completely remove the water content of the seed at 60oC. The seed was weighed to obtain a constant weight.
- Is shea nut oil good?
- This shows that the produced oil is good both commercially and domestically. From the results of GC-MS analysis of the shea butter sample, it can be concluded the shea nut fats have potential in the production of cosmetics, perfumery and pharmaceuticals. Addaquay, J., (2004).
- Can n-hexane be used to extract oil from seed?
- Free radicals might play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases From the result obtained from the work carried out, it can be concluded that; The percentage oil recovery from seed of Butyrospernumparkii hexane ranges from 27.7% to 45.7% indicating that the oil can be extracted commercially using n-hexane.
- Is there a mechanised shea butter production plant?
- In other to address all these shortcomings a mechanised shea butter production plant was developed (alhaji et al., 2018) Shea butter is a high–value shea nut fat used as an edible oil, antimicrobial and moisturiser in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, respectively.
- Does temperature and particle size affect shea butter yield?
- The study showed temperature, particle size and time individually have significant effect on Shea butter yield but the interaction between the factors have insignificant effect on Shea butter yield. The results of the physiochemical properties of the produced oil fall within the accepted limit values for oil.
