  • How many vegetable oil refining plants are there in Morocco?
  • There are 2?crushing units and 5?vegetable oil refining plants in Morocco. These plants accounts for crushing capacity of 620,000?tons/year and a refining capacity of 770,000?tons/year.
  • Where are sunflowers grown in Morocco?
  • According to data from the High Commissioner for Planning ( HCP, 2021 ), sunflower and rapeseed areas are mainly located in Rabat-Salé-Kenitra (16,000?ha), Fes-Meknes (8000?ha) and Casablanca-Settat (2000?ha) during the 2019/2020?crop year ( Fig. 14 ). There are 2?crushing units and 5?vegetable oil refining plants in Morocco.
  • How is crude sunflower oil made?
  • Crude sunflower oil is obtained from partially dehulled seeds by mechanical pressing followed by hexane extraction and water degumming. Quality and stability are the major factors in the production, acceptance and marketing of vegetables oil products.
  • What oilseeds are grown in Morocco?
  • Several annual oilseed species have been grown in Morocco: sunflower, rapeseed, groundnut, soybean, sesame and safflower. Their cultivation area has continued to decline since the 1990s following several factors, in particular the abolition of guaranteed minimum price and liberalization of the sector.
  • Is it safe to buy sunflower oil from other countries?
  • Purchasing crude sunflower oil (or seed) from certain countries involves the risk of PAHs (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) contamination, originated from direct fuel gas drying of the seeds or from environmental pollution. PAHs (like benzo-a-pyrene) are carcinogenic and should be removed during refining.
  • How to refine sunflower oil?
  • Physical refining of sunflower oil is discussed in details. Recent developments in the field of processes, equipment and control have made it possible to refine by physical way the high phosphatide containing seed oils as well.
