Three Processes of Sesame Oil Production – Enhanced by Professional Pressing & Refining Equipment
Sesame is one of the most important oil crops. The oil extracted from sesame seeds has a rich, aromatic fragrance. It is widely used as edible oil and also serves various purposes in the medical field. In industry, sesame oil can be used in the production of lubricants and soap.
Processing Technology
Sesame oil production mainly involves three methods: the water substitution method, the pressing method (mechanical pressing or solvent extraction), and the enzymatic method.
Water Substitution Method
Also known as the small grinding method, this traditional process follows these steps:Sesame screening → rinsing → seed roasting → smoking → refining → slurry mixing → shaking and skimming → crude oil treatment → finished oil
Pressing Method
Conventionally produced mechanically pressed sesame oil typically has a golden-yellow color. Cold-pressed crude sesame oil, regardless of its origin, can be used directly for cooking, with its color ranging from light yellow to dark amber. Refined sesame oil is usually pale yellow and more suitable for long‑term storage and commercial use.
Crude oil obtained from solvent extraction plants still contains impurities such as phospholipids, resins, free fatty acids, and pigments. Therefore, it usually requires a full refining process, including degumming, neutralization, decolorization, winterization, and deodorization.
For commercial and industrial-scale production, professional oil press machines and complete refining equipment are essential to ensure high oil yield, stable performance, and food‑grade quality. Our integrated sesame oil pressing and refining lines are specially designed for efficient and reliable production. They effectively improve oil output and oil clarity, and perfectly match the degumming, decolorization, and deodorization processes. With our equipment, producers can easily produce high‑quality, impurity‑free sesame oil that meets international market standards, greatly enhancing product value and production efficiency.
Enzymatic Method
The enzymatic method is an innovative modern technology that allows full utilization of sesame protein while extracting oil. Its production process is as follows:Sesame → cleaning and rinsing → refining → water extraction → centrifugation → sesame oil and protein isolate collection → enzymatic hydrolysis → demulsification → finished sesame oil.
