Canola (Rapeseed) Oil Processing: From Pressing to Refining—Key Parameters and Control Tips This technical brief explains the end-to-end canola (rapeseed) oil processing workflow—from seed preconditioning and pressing to physical–chemical refining—with a focus on practical parameter control. It details how temperature, time, moisture, and pressure affect oil yield, oxidation stability, and nutrient retention, and it translates best practices for conditioning, cooking, pressing, and filtration into production-ready settings. The refining section clarifies step-by-step control points for water/acid degumming, neutralization (deacidification), bleaching, and deodorization, including typical setpoints, residence times, and equipment coordination to minimize losses and reduce contaminants. Data-backed charts, parameter tables, and simplified flow diagrams are included to support line optimization, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Drawing on field experience, the paper highlights common pitfalls (e.g., overcooking, overdosing adsorbents, excessive stripping steam) and actionable corrections.
