The Technology of Almond Oil Production

Hladno prešano bademovo ulje spada u skupinu nerafiniranih ulja. Proces proizvodnje hladno prešanih ulja podrazumijeva nekoliko faza: ljuštenje, čišćenje, sušenje i mljevenje. Sušenjem se iz sirovine odstranjuje voda što omogućuje duže vrijeme čuvanja bez štetnih posljedica na kvalitetu ulja unutar jezgre badema te bolju preradu. Tako prethodno obrađena sirovina se zatim melje da bi se povećala površina koja uvjetuje uspješnost izdvajanja ulja iz sirovine tijekom prešanja. Prešanjem jezgre badema u pužnoj preši dobiva se sirovo ulje koje ide na bistrenje kako bi se izdvojile sve krute čestice i nečistoće koje zaostaju u ulju nakon prešanja.Cold pressed almond oil belongs to the group of unrefined oils. Production process consists of several phases: peeling, cleaning, drying and grinding. Drying is the process that removes water from raw materials, which enables storage for a longer amount of time, also it doesn't leave any harmful effects on overall quality of the oil. Previously processed raw material goes through the process of grinding. Therefore, the larger surface is created in order to increase the oil extraction during oil production. Oil that is obtained from pressing almond kernels in a crew press, must go through clarification process to achieve oil separation from the solid and dirt particles that lag behind after the pressing
