RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS:

Unlike animal fat, which is stored in

fat cells, oilseeds do not have such a
feature. Instead, the oil is stored in
microscopic globules throughout the
plant cells. Rendering will not be able
to liberate the oil from the globules,
and more mechanical processes such
as grinding, flaking, rolling or pressing
will be needed in order to break the
cell walls in order to liberate the oil.
The prepared meat from the

oilseeds are then reduced into smaller

sizes by grinding, then they are
cooked and pressed in screw presses.
At the base of the press is a drain,
where the released oil is separated
from the press cake (the pressed
solid). The latter is discharged into
conveyors for further processing
