Heat treatment, especially roasting, is known to reduce harmful fungal species and
mycotoxin formation to a great extent. Experiments were conducted for heat treatment and …

A screw press moringa oil expeller was developed and evaluated in terms of oil expression
efficiency (OEE), material balance efficiency (MBE) and expression loss (EL). Four different …

The relationship existing between operating parameters like speed of operation, applied
pressure, feed rate and dependent variables like oil recovery and throughput capacity was …

A combined roaster and oil expeller was developed with locally available and accessible
materials and the efficiency of the machine was evaluated. The obtained result shows that …

The current research has been conducted to investigate the capacity of an indigenously
developed thermal oil based continuous solar roaster (CSR) for groundnuts roasting. A 10 …

Roasting of groundnut is essential to ensure quality improvement, easy handling, safe
storage, further processing, and value addition of the product. Therefore, the aim of the study …

Edible vegetable oil is oil produced from any of the edible oil-bearing seeds that exist in
nature. Many of these seeds are produced in large quantities in Nigeria and have a lot of …

The extraction process of peanut oil has been a major concern for local processors due to
the difficult task it constitutes during processing. The use of oil expellers has been found to …

Purpose: The study aimed to develop a roasting machine to meet the demand of small-scale
groundnut processing industries. Design/Methodology/Approach: Three conceptual designs …

Nigeria's small-scale oil extraction remains a significant bottleneck.‎ In this study, an
