Screw Press / Oil Expeller for Shea Butter Extraction, GOYUM

However, the shea butter has a darker colour and the oil contains too many impurities, so it requires an oil refining process. In countries where shea tree is planted, setting up an oil mill plant to produce high-quality shea butter would be profitable of the high value of shea butter and its wide applications in cosmetics, food, medicine and etc.

It contains about 40-42% oil content. Usually this kind of nut contains special quality oil called shea butter. Shea nut oil is widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizer. Shea butter is edible and may be used in food preparation, or sometimes in the chocolate industry as a substitute for cocoa butter. Shea nut meal however, is obtained after ...

General treatment of shea fruits prior to shea butter extraction. Shea butter processing is a seasonal affair. Fruiting and gathering of shea nuts occur between May and August each year. In this stage, shea nuts are processed into kernel form. Both raw and ripe fruits are green but ripe fruit is occasionally yellowish and soft when felt.

Shea Butter Production, Benefits and Uses

The extracted shea butter then undergoes further processing through refining and deodorizing to create high-quality shea butter, suitable for use in products like chocolates and cosmetics. Recently, there has been a growing interest in eco-friendly and organic production, leading to the use of traditional extraction methods for obtaining ...

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.

Meeting the global demand for shea oil and shea butter extraction

As Africa’s second most important oil crop, shea trees sustain millions of indigenous women who gather fallen fruit and prepare the nuts to be processed into shea butter. As a vital income source for these underserved populations, shea has earned the nickname “women’s gold.”

Step 2: Crushing and Grinding the Nuts. After the roasting process, the shea nuts are crushed and ground into a fine powder. This powder is then mixed with water to form a paste. Step 3: Extracting the Shea Butter Oil. The shea butter paste is then kneaded and pressed to extract the oil. The oil is then boiled to remove any impurities ...

  • 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
  • How is shea butter extracted?
  • About 30–33% of shea butter is extracted from the shea nuts with the mechanical expeller although combination of the mechanical with chemical methods has achieved 98% extraction efficiencies. The chemical extraction processes
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 is shea butter fractionated?
  • Once refined, shea butter can be fractionated into two parts: a creamy fat known as shea stearin and a liquid oil called shea olein—otherwise known as shea oil. Fractionation separates these two unique components using either a chemical reagent or physical methods like centrifugation.
