About Canola Oil

Tags : 

Canola is a crop with plants from three to five feet tall that produce pods from which seeds are harvested and crushed to create canola oil and meal. These plants also produce small, yellow flowers, which beautify the environment.

Canola seeds contain approximately 45 percent oil, a high percentage packed into seeds similar in size to rapeseed but distinguished by their brownish-black hue. Although they look similar, canola and rapeseed plants and oils are very different. Canadian scientists used traditional plant breeding in the 1960s to practically eliminate two undesirable components of rapeseed, erucic acid from oil and glucosinolates from meal, to create “canola,” a contraction of “Canadian” and “ola.” Canola oil is prized for its heart-healthy properties with the least saturated fat of all common culinary oils.

Canola belongs to the Brassica plant family, which also includes mustard, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. Besides China, canola is cultivated in Canada, Australia, Europe, and the United States. Canola seed is also known as “double low rapeseed” due to its low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates, particularly in China and Europe. Canola plants are easy to grow, need fewer pesticides, and the oil extraction process is efficient with little waste.

Production: Canola plants are grown in suitable fields, harvested, and seeds are transported to processing facilities. After cleaning and moisture adjustment, canola seeds are pressed to release the canola oil. Following extraction, the canola oil can be further refined to produce a shelf-stable, clear and neutral-tasting oil which can be stored at room tempera­ture for about one year. The remaining solid parts of canola seed can be processed into canola meal, a protein-packed product used in animal feed.

Health Benefits: Canola oil has a beneficial fatty acid profile. It’s low in saturated fat, reducing the risk of heart disease. It’s rich in monounsaturated fats like oleic acid, and polyunsaturated fats including omega – 3s, which support brain health and reduce inflammation.

Culinary Versatility: Its neutral flavor and high smoke point (about 400°F/204°C) make it suitable for frying, sautéing, baking, and salad dressings. It doesn’t overpower other ingredients and can withstand high-heat cooking without breaking down.

Advantages of Cold-pressed Canola Oil
1. Nutrient Retention: cold-pressed extraction, without heat or chemicals, preserves more vitamin E and omega-3s, which are good for skin and immune system. Zero trans fats, more omega 6 & 3 than olive oil. High in vitamin E, low in saturated fat.
2. Pure and Natural Flavor: it has a fresh, delicate taste, ideal for salad dressings and raw food recipes, free from off-flavors of refined oils.
3. Minimal Processing: involving only mechanical pressure, it’s more environmentally friendly and less likely to introduce contaminants.

In summary, canola oil, especially cold-pressed, is a healthy, versatile, and sustainable cooking choice, appealing to health-conscious consumers and chefs.
Advanced cold pressing technology can maximize the value of canola oil.

Extra Virgin Avocado Oil Production Line in Costa Rica

Tags : 

In June 2019, SIMEC delivered a Complete Extra Virgin Avocado Oil Production Line to Costa Rica. The oil production line includes 3 sets of HOP50/280 hydraulic oil press machines and 2 sets of avocado oil purification apparatus. The oil mill is designed to produce pure extra virgin avocado oil. It is scheduled to start production at the end of August 2019.

As a kind of healthy-friendly oil, the extra virgin avocado oil is rich in various nutrition and beneficial minerals, and has features of GMO free, zero preservatives, no artificial additives, gluten free and dairy free. The unique nutrients contain in avocado oil such as glyceric acid, unsaturated fatty acids, mono-unsaturated fats and other natural nutrients can only be preserved in a low-temperature environment ensured by cold pressing technology.

SIMEC has focused on the research and development of cold pressing oil extraction technology with years of experience in practice. HOP50/280 hydraulic oil press has maximum of 380 tons vertical press force on avocado oil material. Great press force can increase oil extraction efficiency and minimize the residual oil ratio of oil cake. Avocado oil is extracted in automatic operation mode, which can ensure production efficiency and save labor cost. All parts in contact with oil material are made of food grade ss304 stainless steel, which is corrosion resistant, hygienic and durable.

Stainless steel avocado oil purification apparatus consists of filtering system and physical purification system. Effective filtering precision of oil filter ranges from 0.1μm to 10μm, so that all of solid impurity can be filtered out continuously. The filtered avocado oil will be pumped into two specially designed stainless steel settling tanks, in where oil & water will be separated. Oil purification apparatus ensures that Avocado Oil will not contain solid impurity and water.
