Meeting the global demand for shea oil and shea butter extraction
Raw shea butter has a nutty aroma, a yellowish color, and a thick creamy consistency. After extraction, this raw shea butter is often refined, bleached, and deodorized to produce clear, odorless, refined shea butter. These refining processes may also remove some of shea’s beneficial bioactive compounds and unwanted colors and odors. Once ...
A similar observation was reported by [24] for the extraction of oil from shea butter using traditional extraction methods (hot water) and solvent extraction using n-hexane, whereby n-hexane ...
Cosmetic Potentials of African Shea Nut (Vitellaria paradoxa
Simple indigenous technology of soap production from shea butter: A cold-process alkali hydrolysis of the shea nut oil which is a simple adoptable technology, was reported by Warra et al. (2009a) in producing shea butter soap. The traditional method of extraction of the shea nut oil was employed.
The local method of extraction of the shea nut oil was employed in comparison with literature report. A simple cold-process alkali hydrolysis of the shea nut oil was used in producing the soap. The chemical analysis of the oil revealed that it had saponification, iodine and acid values of 136.32 ±1.943 mgKOH/g, 50.50 ± 8.023g I2/100g and 14. ...
Investigation of some useful chemical parameters in Shea tree
The largest amount of residual oil obtained from the waste is a little over 14.0 % portion of the waste. From literature, 47 % and 25-40 % shea nut oil yields have been reported from nuts using solvent and traditional extraction methods respectively (Shea nut processing, 2008; Ikya et al., 2013; Nooratiqah et al., 2013).
The percentage yield of the oil from the shea nut kernel was 38.74% even though the value is lower than 48% reported for Jatropha curcas L. seed oil [14] is considered to be higher
Oil extraction from sheanut (Vitellaria paradoxa Gaertn C.F
For more than 10 years now, shea nut (Vitellaria paradoxa) has been projected as a potential oil tree capable of significantly increasing the income levels of local women processors in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is because women are the main processors of the shea fruit whose kernels contain up to 50 % oil.
Step 2: Shea butter extraction Extraction of shea butter from shea kernels can be done via either water extraction i.e. boiling with water, mechanical extraction, solvent extraction, or a combination of these processes. The traditional method of how shea butter is made involves water extraction – boiling the shea kernels with water and ...

- How much oil does Egypt eat a year?
- Currently, Egypt consumes about 2.5 million tons of edible oils annually. Only, about 48.5 thousand tons of this quantity is produced by oilseed extraction in local extraction plants. About half of this quantity is produced mainly from cottonseed produced as a byproduct of cotton ginning industry.
- How has the production of cottonseed oil changed in Egypt?
- According to that Figure, it is quite clear that the production of cottonseed oil in Egypt has been decreased greatly over the years from 1969 whereby it was 125 thousand tons oil in 1969 to 10 thousand tons only in 2019. 2.
