Abstract
Data are presented to show that filtration-extraction can be successfully applied on a bench-scale to extract whole or decorticated safflower seed to a residual lipids content in meal of about 1.0%.
Recommended procedure and operating conditions for processing this seed are given. These were found to be adequate within the limitations of the study and are not to be considered optimum. They are similar to those employed for filtration-extraction of most high-oil-content materials except that, for safflower, severe initial rolling is necessary and that efficient processing of decorticated seed requires an additional step of rerolling of the cooked materials prior to extraction.
Based on the close correlation obtained to date between bench- and industrial-scale filtration-extraction results for a wide variety of oil crops, there should be little difficulty encountered in the processing of safflower on a commercial scale.
