INTRODUCTION


Mustard oil is a edible oil extracted from mustard seeds. It is dark yellow in color and slightly pungent. It is an ancient oil that is said to be full of many health benefits. Mustard oil is produced by pressing the seeds of mustard plant to produce spicy oil.

Mustard and rapeseed is the second major oilseed crop in India. Most oilseeds extracted by using oil expellers. The traditional processing of mustard is crushed without any de-hilling. Mustard contains about 20% by weight of hull portions, which imparts dark colour, high amount of crude fibre (about 70%) in the mustard meal and also dark colour to the oil. Because of these qualities the cake finds very limited use for animal feed purposes. Hence an integrated approach for processing of mustard was developed for obtaining a good quality oil and mustard cake with low content of crude fibre suitable for feed uses. Because of the low fibre content and nutritional quality it finds a good protein supplement for poultry feed.

Good quality high-sharp mustard oil and low-fiber mustard cake for the use of animal feed. Mustard oil is edible oil and receives high premium prices on the basis of acidity. After removing the oil mustard cake obtained from the de-hulled kernels, the can be used as a mustard paste and is used in the preparation of pickle, etc. Because of low fiber content in the meal and nutrition superiority, it finds as a good protein supplement in poultry feed industry.

Integrated processing of mustard oil involves the following steps:

  • Seed cleaning for removal of extraneous material like stones, mud, etc.
  • Seed cracker to obtain uniform size seeds.
  • Conditioning the cleaned seeds for de-hulling
  • Extracting oil from mustard oilseeds by mustard seed oil expeller
  • Crude oil filtration by filter press machine
