OSTI ID:5064131
The effects of expression conditions on sunflower oil recovery were studied. Samples of sunflower seed were selected at four levels; whole, dehulled, coarsely ground, and finely ground seed. In general, coarsely ground seed resulted in the highest oil recovery. Maximum oil yield for whole seed was obtained when a sample of seeds was expressed at 6 percent moisture, 42 MPa pressure for four minutes.
