Effects of Extraction Methods on the Yield and Quality
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).
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).

Investigation on the improvement of shea butter yield
The oil yield extracted from the shea nuts varied depending on the thermal treatment technique utilized. Roasted shea nuts exhibited an oil yield ranging from 48.65 % to 53.53 %, with a mean of 51.25 ± 1.74 %. Boiled nuts showed a lower oil yield ranging from 44.72 % to 48.75 %, with a mean of 46.96 % ± 1.50 %.
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 ...

Protocol for extracting oil from Ghana shea nuts using
The protocol also presents a more effective and efficient procedure for obtaining the optimum oil yield from the shea nuts. It establishes the relationship and demonstrates how the oil yield and quality depend on the extraction kinetics and thermodynamic parameters.
The vegetable fat from shea nut is considered the second to palm oil in Africa (Hall et al., 1996; Bup et al., 2014). Insect pests is one of the major biotic factors causing damage and reducing ...
- Does shea butter grow in Ethiopia?
- The shea tree is a fruit tree that grows naturally in the wild, in the dry Savannah belt, also known as the shea belt which stretches from Senegal in West Africa to Sudan in the east, and on to the foothills of the Ethiopian highlands.
- What is the difference between shea butter and shea nut oil?
- Shea oil is fractionated from Shea butter; to produce Shea oil, Shea butter is melted, and the oleic oil is removed from the solid parts. The oleic oil is lower in stearic fatty acid content which is what gives shea butter its solid characteristics.
- What is the use of shea stearin?
- Shea Stearin can improve the shelf life and heat stability of chocolate and products that contain chocolate. Shea Stearin's melting properties make it possible to produce chocolate glazes that are less likely to bloom. Shea Stearin can also be combined with other solid fats to achieve special characteristics.
