Hot Press Sesame Oil Extraction

In hot press oil extraction method, sesame is heated up to 100°C, which leads to an increase in production capacity. But the important fact is that the advantages of the sesame oil obtained from this method are reduced due to the high heat. In some cases, the nutritional value of the oil produced is completely lost and replaced by harmful substances that cause diseases such as gastrointestinal and cardiovascular problems, and liver and breast cancers. To prevent such problems, it is necessary to refine sesame oil produced by this method of tahini or hot press. These processes consume time and energy and have a high cost, which is why some manufacturers sell low quality and even harmful oil in the form of high quality sesame oil.

Cold Press Sesame Oil Extraction

The temperature of the oil in this method is below 40 degrees Celsius and in most cases does not even reach 30 degrees Celsius, which preserves the natural quality of the oil. But it has to mention that the capacity of sesame oil extraction in this method is less than hot press. Bekrdaneh Group produces sesame cold press oil machines and also oil purifier.
