Oil extraction is usually achieved through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction. Mechanical pressing uses high pressure to expel oil, often after pre-conditioning the seeds with heat or steam. Solvent extraction employs food-grade solvents to dissolve the oil, which is later separated and refined. The method chosen depends on production scale and the desired oil quality.
