Flaxseed Oil Production Line

The Best Flaxseed Oil Processing Method

Flaxseed oil contains an adequate amount of linolenic acid and the oil is usually extracted by low-temperature physical squeezing in the flaxseed oil production line. Because flaxseed oil has a balanced proportion of linolenic acid and linoleic acid, which is 1:4, and it is scientifically proven that when the ratio of linolenic acid to linoleic acid is 1:4, the human body can be in the healthiest state, and it is very difficult for various external bacteria to invade. Flaxseed oil can meet human health standards.
However, linolenic acid is highly heat-sensitive and easily oxidized. When the critical temperature is exceeded, the activity of linolenic acid begins to be destroyed. Therefore, when making flax seed oil, it is necessary to choose the physical pressing method at low temperature without any heating treatment. Low-temperature physical squeezing retains the activity of linolenic acid, and no additives in the whole process to maintain the natural quality of raw materials. Second, the physical pressing temperature is lower than the melting point temperature of the wax, so that the pressed flaxseed oil is free from the “dewaxing” procedure and avoids the damage caused by the dewaxing process.

Processing Steps of Flaxseed Oil Physical Press Line

The pressing production process keeps the most effective ingredients in flaxseed, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, trace elements and so on. The pressed oil is more suitable for a special supplement for human health. Normal temperature pressing method refers to the flaxseed oil extraction at room temperature under great pressure from physical machinery without the traditional process of high-temperature frying or steaming, so the normal temperature pressed oil still distributes in the undeformed protein cells and contains rich ingredients (linolenic acid and other nutrients).
The steps of flaxseed oil press line are mainly: Flaxseed selecting → screening → cleaning up impurities → crushing → flaking → conditioning →normal temperature pressing → residue separation → degumming →dehydrating → debittering → crystallization → cryogenic filtration → physical pressed linseed oil

Due to the unique production technology of normal temperature pressed linseed oil, the requirements for raw materials are more stringent, therefore, fresh and plump flax seeds should be selected. The acid value of oil produced by immature and aged grains is higher and the flavor is poor, while mildew and broken grains are liable to be polluted by aflatoxin, so immature, damaged, mildewed and aged grains cannot be used to produce flaxseed oil. In addition, the following indicators should also be controlled: oil≥32%, moisture≤9%, impurities≤2%, acid value (KOH)≤1.0mg/g, peroxide value≤5mmol/kg.

At present, the commonly used raw materials for pressing flaxseed contains 38%~45% of oil and 6.5%~8.5% of moisture

11 Impressive Benefits of Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed Oil health benefits includes managing eczema, battling cancer, alleviating diarrhea and constipation, supplying nutrients, managing arthritis and calming the nerves. Other benefits includes slowing the aging process, protecting the lung, balancing hormones, reducing cellulite and supporting weight loss.

What is Flaxseed Oil?

The multiple healing and nutritional benefits of the flaxseed cannot be denied. There are archeological indications of flaxseeds being planted first by the Babylonians around 2000 B.C.E. Greeks have indications of planting the flax seed plant and using its seeds in their poems as well.

By the 8thcentury, the health and medicinal properties of flaxseed were so widely known that the King of France, Charlemagne had entries for the uses of flaxseed in his medical journal. The scientific name for flax seeds translates to “the most useful”. Flax seed is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world.

Where this plant has many uses, its seeds can be eaten raw or are used to extract oil. There are two types of oils that are extracted from flax seeds, linseed oil and flax seed oil. Linseed oil is used in machines and other tools whereas; flax seed oil is for human consumption. It is strictly advised to never use flaxseed oil for cooking purposes as it has a very low smoking point.

Flaxseed oil is one of the best plant based sources of omega 3; it is often compared to fish oil in its medicinal capabilities. This is good news for vegetarians as it is the best source of omega 3 fatty acids in the plant kingdom. Flax seeds are not only rich in omega 3s; they also have a variety of nutrients.

Flax seed oil has an almost nutty, slightly sweet and a tad bitter flavor. This flavor profile makes it delicious; giving flax seeds a distinct flavor. Flax seeds contain from 50% to 60% alpha-linolenic acid, which is a form of omega 3 fatty acids.

Flaxseed oil is a healthy addition to your diet, it not only anti inflammatory, but has more disease preventing properties than fish oil. There are many reasons to opt for flaxseed oil over fish oil one being the potential presence of mercury in the fish oil.
