  • What are the processing steps in edible oil industry?
  • As pre-mentioned, in case of edible oil industry, these processing steps include the steps of crude oil extraction from oilseed, removal of free acids by chemical and physical methods, de-colorization of neutralized oil using bleaching earth and the step of deodorizing the bleached oil.
  • How to make edible oil from oilseed?
  • Processing steps for edible oil production from oilseed In brief, the main processing steps followed to produce edible oil from oilseed include extraction of the crude oil from its seeds and then refining of the crude oil to make it suitable for human consumption. The extraction can be made mechanically using hydraulic presses or screw presses.
  • What is the production-consumption gap in edible oil in Egypt?
  • The production-consumption gap for edible oil in Egypt is estimated to be 97%. This is due to the population growth of around 1.5 million people annually (CAPMAS, 2014; El-Hamidi and Zaher, 2018) according to the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation.
  • Which vegetable oil is imported by Egypt?
  • Table 2: Quantities of various vegetable oils imported by Egypt from 2015 to 2018 in ton). It is clear that palm oil is the major oil imported by Egypt whereby it represents about 60% of total imported oils in 2018 while the quantity imported from corn oil is the least being about 3% in the same year.
  • Why is vegetable oil a problem in Egypt?
  • Edible vegetable oil production in Egypt has faced countless problems. During the 1960s, Egypt was independent in palatable vegetable oils, whereby self-sufficiency proportion was 95% (Hassan and Sahfique, 2010). This proportion has declined to be 31.6% in 2007.
  • Does Egypt rely on cotton seeds for oil production?
  • Egypt does not rely on upon them for oil production. Cotton crop that is one of the dual-purpose crops is generally grown for textile industry. The cotton seeds are then utilized to produce crude cottonseed oil either by pressing or by solvent extraction or by both of the two technologies together.
