Frequently Asked Questions
How does mechanical expelling yield pale pressed grade oil?
Pale pressed grade is produced from first mechanical pressing of choice seeds, maintaining low acidity and pale color through mechanical pressing without chemical solvents.
How does mechanical pressing achieve low Lovibond colour for pale pressed grade castor oil?
Stringent seed selection yields Lovibond color under 1.0 Yellow and 0.2 Red, FFA under 0.5%, and moisture under 0.15% for color-critical applications.
