Shea nut Solvent Extraction Plant, Offered by Oil Mill Plant

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

Shea nut Solvent Extraction Plant, Offered by Oil Mill Plant

Multistage fractionation of palm oil with possible food applications for the various fractions. The first step of dry fractionation of palm oil yields olein fractions with a cloud point below 10°C. The olein fractions are used as a substitute for soft oils in frying, cooking and salad oils or are being further fractionated.

Shea Nut Processing, Kumar Metal Industries

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 is becoming increasingly popular in foods, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. This work aims to study the effect of the refining process on the quality and stability of fractionated and mixed shea butters. Crude shea butter, refined shea stearin, olein and their mixture (1:1 w/w) were analyzed for fatty acids, triacylglycerol composition, peroxide value (PV), free fatty acids

Shea butter: Properties and processing for use in food

The key fact to consider with the global shea industry is that it is dominated by supplies of the nuts from the western subspecies of shea trees—Vitellaria paradoxa ssp. paradoxa—due to the main demand being for the shea stearin-rich fraction for use as a functional ingredient in the confectionery sector and the fact that this western variety is well known to have significantly higher

How does shea butter refining work?
It is well-known that shea butter refining involves various steps. When making refined shea butter from raw shea butter, there are four important steps: de-gumming, neutralization, bleaching and deodorization. The ingredients that are not good for consumption are removed from the butter at each stage of the refining process.
Does Uganda produce oleic acid butter?
Maranz et al. (2004) discovered that Ugandan shea populations produce consistently high oleic acid butter (51.2¨C62.1%), that is liquid at warm ambient temperatures in comparison to West African shea butter (Senegal to Nigeria), which is more variable in its oleic acid content (ranging from 37.1¨C54.7%).
Does shea butter olein & stearin need to be fractionated?
Additionally, the refining process unintentionally removes some desirable natural bioactive components. After being refined, shea butter can be fractionated into shea butter olein and stearin, depending on the client¡¯s wants. In the lipid processing industry, fractionation is one of the steps.
How much oil is in a shea nut?
Late collection (following germination), poor drying (resulting in fungal infections), and smoking (instead of boiling and sun-drying) can produce shea nuts with an average oil content of 20¨C25% by weight; less than half that typically expected from the best quality kernel (~ 50% by dry weight).
How many tons of dry shea nut are produced a year?
Current estimates suggest that about one million tons of dry kernel are traditionally processed and consumed locally, and between 200 and 500 thousand tons of dry shea nut or kernel equivalent (shea nut equivalent tons¡ªSETs¡ªwhether extracted or fractionated, into butter or stearin, within or outside Africa) are annually traded for export. 5.1.2.
Are East African shea Butters richer in oleic acid than West African Butters?
These results are consistent with those obtained by Davrieux et al. (2010) in other study in which it was confirmed that East African Shea butters were richer in oleic acid (56.64%) than West African butters (45.91%).
