Process of Poppy Oil Production

Uljarice su biljne kulture koje imaju dvostruku namjenu: za izravnu potrošnju i kao materijal za proizvodnju biljnih ulja. Važno je strogo pridržavanje propisanih pravila za način prerade sirovine te odabir visoko kvalitetne sirovine. Postoje 3 kategorije jestivih biljnih ulja s obzirom na tehnologiju proizvodnje: rafinirano, hladno prešano i nerafinirano ulje. Sjemenke maka koriste se za proizvodnju visoko kvalitetnog hladno prešanog ulja. Faze pripreme sirovine za preradu sastoje se od transporta, čišćenja, sušenja i skladištenja sjemenki maka. Navedene operacije ključne su za dobivanje ulja zadovoljavajuće kvalitete. Proces prešanja sjemenki maka se provodi na kontinuiranoj pužnoj preši i kao produkt dobivamo sirovo ulje i pogaču. Sirovo ulje potrebno je očistiti od netopljivih čestica kako bi se očuvala dobra senzorska svojstva hladno prešanog ulja.Oilseeds are crops with a dual purpose: for immediate consumption and as material for the production of vegetable oils. It is important to comply to the stipulated rules for the method of processing raw materials and to select raw materials of high quality. There are 3 categories of edible vegetable oils with respect to the production technology: refined, cold-pressed and unrefined oil. Poppy seeds are used to produce cold-pressed oil of high-quality. Preparation of raw materials for processing consists of transport, grinding, cleaning, drying and storing poppy seeds. The aforementioned operations are crucial to obtaining oils of satisfactory quality. The process of poppy seed molding is carried out on a continuous screw press and as a product we get crude oil and oil cake. It is necessary to cleanse crude oil from insoluble particles in order to preserve good sensory properties of the oil
