Crambe processing: Glucosinolate removal by water washing on a continuous filter

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society

Abstract and Summary

Crambe seed was dehulled and screw pressed to remove approximately two-thirds of the oil, and then it was hexane-extracted to remove the rest. The defatted meal was toasted in the presence of moisture to form a crisped meal possessing fast drainage characteristics required for continuous filtration. The crisped meal was slurried with four parts of water, filtered, and washed on a continuous pilot-plant filter. Water washing removed about one-fourth of the meal solids, which contained 92-96% of the glucosinolates. Estimated processing costs for water-washing crambe meal are 22-23 dollars per ton of unwashed defatted meal, in addition to the cost of crushing the seed to oil and meal.
