Description
Canola oil is a vegetable oil derived from a variety of rapeseed that is low in erucic acid. The difference between the industry standard and expeller pressed oil lies in how the oil is removed from the seeds.Expeller pressing uses a press to physically squeeze the oil out of the seed, rather than use chemicals. With this method, no solvents are used in the process, and therefore there’s no chance of having any hexane residue left over. After the oil is removed, the remaining seed solids are left over forming a hardened cake, which is removed and later sold as meal for animal feed. Expeller pressing gets 87-95% of the oil out of the seed.
