Mustard oil is typically extracted using cold pressing or expeller pressing to preserve oil quality. For industrial biodiesel applications, solvent extraction may be used for higher yields. After extraction, the oil is filtered and prepared for transesterification. When paired with the GlobeCore USB system, the extracted oil is efficiently converted into biodiesel, with automation ensuring optimal reaction conditions and product separation. A combined press-to-fuel setup is ideal for farms or rural cooperatives.
