Cold Press Oil Business

What is Cold Press Oil

Hot press oil extractors are used because of high yield, whereas the cold pressed oil yield less.
But the high temperature alters the nutritional properties. The oil cake produced by heat
pressing has less value compared to the cold press cake. Cold pressing oils are obtained through
modern steel press of seeds. Cold pressed oils retain all the essential components such as
flavour, aroma, and nutritional values, making these oils for a great use in cooking and skin care
requirements. They do not contain any trans fatty acids and are therefore naturally cholesterol
free. These oils are cholesterol free, not refined, or deodorized or processed in any other
way,they do not contain harmful solvent residues as they are obtained just by compression and
they also contain natural antioxidants such as tocopherols for example Vitamin E and
phosphatides like Lecithin.

OVERVIEW
Why Cold Press
The natural flavours and odour are retained in the cold press oils, enhancing the taste in your
favourite recipes. These are processed under heat-controlled temperatures along with the
environment that would never exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In cold-pressed oil extraction process,
the seeds are processed at lower temperatures and do not alter the properties of the oil which
contains a higher phenolic and nutrient content than the oils extracted from the high temperature-
pressed oil.

In the last few years, although the awareness mostly about the nutritional value and health benefits
of traditional wood pressed or cold-pressed oil came into existence now and then changing with the
perceptions of the most homes. Natural antioxidants are present in seeds and cold-pressing them
extracts their oils, while their intrinsic goodness, healing qualities and anti-inflammatory ingredients
are preserved. This method is also used for fruits and vegetables to make juice extracts. The same has
been tested and applied for extracting oil from seeds as well. The elimination of heat in the extractive
process and the oxidation process is slowed down. Till 19th century cold press oil extraction method
is followed which a fixed wooden or stone mortar with wooden pestle has tumed by one or two bulls.
The seeds are crushed by the friction produced by the motor and the pestle. Later they produced
Ghani's powered by large motors to produce cold press oil in bulk at 25 to 50 Kq/hr. But this also
produces heat due to friction and is also very noisy.
Cold Press Advantages
There are many advantages of cold press oil which includes the following-
• Cold press oil retains healthy anti-oxidants which cannot be found in heat pressed oils. These anti-
oxidants fight against harmful free radicals and prevent the growth of tumors in the body, thus
helps in preventing harmful diseases.
• Cold pressed olive oil retains its richness in Vitamin E, which strengthens the immune system, anti-
inflammatory and healing properties.
• Cold pressed coconut oil contains lauric acid which fights against harmful pathogens in the body,
despite its bad reputation, and is a compound found in human breast milk hence it is an essential
one.
• Coconut oil obtained by using cold press method has a lot of medium chain triglycerides, which are
metabolized differently and can have therapeutic effects on several brain disorders.
 Cold Press vs Heat Press
Cold pressed oil has a lot of health benefits to the humans and also for the skin and hair. Do not
ever think that cold pressed oils are costlier than the refined oils, because if you start using heat
pressed oils then you will end with hospital The truth behind the refined oil is cooking oil, which
are those added with a flavor of mineral oil. These mineral oils are also extracted from the
petroleum wastage and few flours are added to them based on the required type of oil. The
giant companies are ready to supply even to supply with the huge demand in Indian market by
some oil that can be used for cooking but they don't even care for the people's health
conditions. These refined oils are unsafe for the human health when consumed. Hence the older
discovery of recovering the oil from the cold press process is the most important and healthier
one which can be followed to protect yourself from harmful diseases. The introduction of screw
in the market to extract cold pressed oil extracts was an improvement over hydraulic press and
solvent extraction. Screws are compact, and have high productivity, with continuous production.
However the screw expellers we examined from a different form of sources, in India and are
fitted with heating coils or use heated seeds as their compression is not enough for cold press.
The screw expellers work on the principle of a vertical feed of oil seeds down a motor and then
through the screw and cage which is called as a pestle mechanism. First crushing and then
compression is done to extract oil from the seeds.
Subsidies and Loans
Subsidies and loans available for cold pressed oil extraction. The below is the list of public sector
banks provides the subsidies for the cold press oil extraction process. These include
• State Bank of India
• Canara Bank
• Bank of Baroda Punjab National Bank
• Bank of India
• Andhra Bank
• State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur
• Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation
• The National Small Industries Corporation Ltd. Small Industries Development Bank of India known
as SIDBI National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development known as NABARD.

These banks avail the loan or subsidies on the machinery cost available.
1. Cold press expeller for extraction of Neem seed oil with higher Azadirachtin content which is
used in medicines mostly avails a subsidy of Rs.2,50,OOO. 2. They provide subsidy of 33% of the
machinery cost of the project.
