Raw materials for biodiesel- Waste oil
The raw materials for biodiesel are oils and fats and lower alcohols. Biodiesel can be produced from common vegetable oils, animal oils, and waste oils. Lower alcohols are typically methanol, ethanol and other lower alcohols. 1.1 oil fatty 1.1.1   Waste oil Waste oils include waste edible oils, acidified oils in the oil industry, and low-quality oils in the grain processing industry. Waste edible oil is commonly known as waste oil. Waste edible oils and fats refers to animal and vegetable oils and fats that can not be eaten during the operation of food production and business units. Does it also include inedible oils and fats produced after use of oils and fats, such as waste oils in the food and beverage industry, and The non-reusable oil produced by the oil-water separator or the grease trap is generally used. The utilization rate of the edible oil is 75%~85% , and the rest is converted into waste cooking oil.The annual output of discarded edible oil in China is ( 3750~6250kt. ) In the past, the main use of waste cooking oil was to produce fatty acids. At present, the proportion of used in biodiesel is getting higher and higher. The fatty acid composition and source of waste cooking oil are not fixed. When producing biodiesel, the processing procedure and product refining plan should be determined according to the nature and composition of the raw materials to produce qualified products. The acidified oil is a fat obtained by acidifying and separating the gum and the saponin produced in the oil refining. According to the survey, there are more than 16,000 edible vegetable oil production enterprises in the country , and there are more than 500 brand enterprises , of which soybean oil is the most processed, accounting for about 40% , followed by rapeseed oil and peanut oil. Edible oil production process by-product of approximately 10% of saponins oil, the country's oil production of about saponins per year (1500 to 2000)about kt, Cassia oil in oil content affected by many factors of raw materials, production processes and so on. In general, 0.4 tons of acidified oil can be processed per ton of saponin oil. The free fatty acid content in the acidified oil is generally above 50% , and the saponifiable component content is above 85% . Most acidified oils are used as raw materials for the production of fatty acids such as oleic acid and stearic acid. Since the price of acidified oil is lower than that of edible oil, it is economically advantageous for producing biodiesel, but the quality of raw materials should be strictly controlled, and the production process of biodiesel products should be formulated according to the nature and composition of raw materials. The most successful use of oil in the grain processing sideline industry is the corn germ oil of the corn processing sideline, which can be processed to produce high-quality edible oil. It has been widely welcomed by consumers and has become one of the important edible oil varieties on the market. Relatively speaking, the processing and utilization of rice bran oil is very poor. On the one hand, due to the small scale of rice processing plants in China, it does not pay attention to the processing of rice husks for rice bran. On the other hand, rice bran oil is easy to be rancid and deteriorated, although it can also process and produce high quality. Edible oil, but the investment is high, the process requirements are strict; third, the market acceptance of rice bran oil is poor, still to be developed. China has lost the world's largest percussion drum producer and rice consumer. If all the rice bran produced in China is processed, it will be able to produce more than 5000kt of rice bran oil. Rice bran oil is easily rancid, which has a great influence on the processing and production of edible oil, but has little effect on the production of biodiesel. Therefore, rice bran oil has great prospects as a raw material for biodiesel. Next, we will analyze another raw material for biodiesel in the future: leprosy oil. Read the full article

Biodiesel Technology from Waste Oil
Biodiesel technology refers to transesterification process to replace waste oil into renewable diesel fuels. Biodiesel is able to obtain from a large variety of animal or vegetable oils including soybean oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil, pistacia oil, other wild plant oil, algae, aquatic plants, food waste oil etc. Which kind of waste oil can be used to make biodiesel? Waste oil mentions to oil during production of edible oil and meat processing. It includes acid oil, food oil, cooking oil, vegetable oil and animal store expired fat. The biodiesel technology can perfectly convert vegetable or animal waste oil into biodiesel through a series of processing flows. Acidification oil Acidification oil refers to waste cooking edible oil after vegetable oil refining processing product. Cooking oil waste generated by the plant after oil refining process contains hydration feet, soap and deodorizer distillate. Food waste oil Food waste oil includes cooking oil, mainly referring to garbage oil generated during cooking. It includes meals remaining oil, frying oil, swill oil, and waste oil etc. The effective utilization of edible oil consumption is estimated to a maximum of 85%, and 75% in developed countries. There are at least 15% oil is changing into waste oil. As a result, low cost waste oil is highly recommended for biodiesel production. Storing expired edible oil Since edible oil reserve is one of the most important material relating to the national economy, which is as equal as food to national development. There is at least 1 million tons of edible oils are in need of treatment after expiration. These expired oils are high quality raw material to produce biodiesel. Animal fat and oil There are large amounts of animal fat byproducts with high-speed development of animal feeding increasing. High quality animal fat in many places is used as edible oil. But in recent years, with the enhancement of public health concept, the remaining amount of animal fat can reach as high as 5 million tons one year. Animal fat has been an important industrial material, which can also be used as important material for biodiesel technology. Waste oil is the raw material oleochemical industry, for the production of chemicals, solvents, additives and other chemicals or additives. In a variety of waste oil , the reserves of oil and animal fat expired due to relatively concentrated, easy to bulk supply, use more fat in the chemical industry. Acidification oil due to high impurity content, smell great, the chemical industry uses less oil. Catering oil sources scattered and difficult to collect is using less.In recent years, the development of biodiesel technology industry has greatly accelerated the value of waste oil. Advantages of using waste oil for biodiesel technology production Using waste oil to produce biodiesel, regardless of the season with the annual supply of woody oil tree cultivation, has no requirement of early investment of plant oil plant. Waste oil biodiesel technology quality requirement doesn’t as strict as production of olechemical products. There are more varieties of waste oils can be used for biodiesel production line. Waste oil is available at cheap price, always less than 70% of edible oil. The raw material cost is relatively low to make biodiesel. Biodiesel as an alternative to diesel in market has large gap and good sales prospects. Social significance of waste oil producing biodiesel Use of waste oil producing biodiesel is high quality component of diesel. Biodiesel operated vehicles can reduce pollution of atmospheres. The production of waste oil into biodiesel is the best utilization of waste oil. Biodiesel technology avoids waste oil returning to the table, endangering human health. Waste oil producing biodiesel technology will quickly drive the development of biodiesel industry, including equipment manufacturing, construction, oil deployment, storage and sales. In addition, biodiesel processing line has also led to the production of industrial use of chemical solvents, surfactants, plasticizers and other emerging the rise of the industry. These industry chain developments, increase employment opportunities in urban and rural areas, and reduce social pressures of current employment. Read the full article

Small scale oil refining machine is designed with own heat source, electric control system. User only need to prepare power, water, fuel, caustic soda, phosphoric acid and clay etc to complete the oil refining process. Major process during high grade oil refining process: Neutralization pot: For acid refining, alkali refining and water washing. Decolorization pot: Bleach oil and remove pigment. Deodorization pot: Remove odor of oil(Made of stainless steel). Heat conduction oil furnace: Provide heat energy for production,the temperature can reach 280℃. Vacuum pump: Provide vacuum degree for decolorization and deodorization,up to above 755mgHg. Air compressor: Dry decolorized bleaching clay. Filter press: Filter bleaching clay. Steam generator: Provide steam for deodorization & distillation Operation instruction of edible oil refining machine unit: Preparation for starting equipment: 1.Test crude oil,and test acid value and color,if you have laboratory, please do sample test. 2. Connect cooling water 3. Prepare bleaching clay,caustic soda(NaOH) and coal; 4. Connect electric power. 5. Check whether vacuum pump,air compressor,filter and heat conduction oil pump are ok. 6. When changing heat conduction oil,must heat it for 5 hours about 98℃.If there is no steam to spill from head tank,it’s ok to heat it to 280℃ slowly. Alkaline refining operation instruction:Starting equipment: Light heat conduction oil furnace,control the temperature of heat conduction oil at about 98℃.Start vacuum pump,after it’s normal,it’s ready to be used.Operation process of batch refining: (1)feeding oil (2)heating (3)acid refining (4) alkali refining (5)water washing 2-3 times (6)drying and dehydration, the total time is about 24 hours. Alakli refining operation methods include low temperature concentrated alkali method(initial temperature is 20-30℃,alkalinity is 20-30Be) and high temperature light alkali method(initial temperature is 75℃,alkalinity is 10-16Be) according to alkalinity and oil temperature,the former is used widely,and the latter is mainly used for crude oil with low acid value,light color and little impurities. Water washingAfter soap-stock is discharged,continue to heat oil to 90℃,then add hot water for water washing and stirring.Water temperature should be about 5-10℃higher than oil temperature.If water temperature is too low, it will cause emulsification easily.After finishing adding water,continue to stir t for 5 mins,then static settlement for 4 hours, discharge soap water,water wash 2-3 times repeatedly,it depends on clear oil quality. Heat water washing clear oil to 105℃ slowly,stir and dehydrate for 1 hour,water washing clear oil can also suck into decolorization pot directly for vacuum drying for 30mins. Decolorization operation instructionStart vacuum pump,vacuum degree is higher than 700mmHg.Suck alkali refining oil after water washing into decolorization pot,stir it and at the same time,heat it to 90℃,and then stir it for 30 minutes, to decrease the moisture to below 0.1%,then suck little decolorizer(bleaching clay,active carbon),additive amount depends on color of oil, generally speaking, it’s 2-5% of oil weight, stir it for 30 mins, after decreasing temperature to 70℃,then use compressed air to press it into filter to separate bleaching clay from oil,and then get decolorant oil. Deodorization operation instructionDecolorant oil is sucked into deodorization pot by vacuum pump, when vacuum degree reaches above 755mmHg,start distillation and at the same time, time for deodorization. 1.Deodorization time: 4 hours 2.Deodorization temperature: 240℃/755mmHg 260℃/759mmHg 3.Deodorization vacuum degree: above 755mmHg. 4.During the whole timing process:must steam distillation. 5.After finishing deodorization,continue to shut off direct steam under vacuum condition,shut off heat conduction oil,open cooling water valve,when the temperature of oil decreases to about 40-80℃,shut off vacuum pump valve, after inspection by sampling is qualified,it will be packed and the whole high class cooking oil production process is finished.

Advantages of Biodiesel Technology
Biodiesel, also known as fatty acid methyl esters (Fatty Acid Ester) uses the fruit of plants, seeds, vegetable oils or animal fat milk ducts, waste cooking oil and others as materials. It is obtained by lactide reaction (Transesterification reaction) with alcohols (methanol, ethanol). German engineer Dr. Rudolf Diesel (1858-1913) first mentioned the concept of biodiesel. Biodiesel refers to the use of various types of plant and animal fats as raw materials, and alcohols such as methanol or ethanol etherification reaction modified after delivery to make biodiesel eventually become available for use in internal combustion engine kinds of fuel. Biodiesel as a renewable energy source, due to its highlight advantages of high cetane number, nontoxic, sulfur-free, renewable and biodegradable, which is becoming a hot topic in the closely watched study.Advantage of biodiesel while comparing with fossil diesel: ● Higher cetane number of more than 49 (petroleum diesel is 45). Anti-knock performance of biodiesel is better than petroleum diesel. ● Oxygen content of biodiesel is higher than petroleum diesel with up to 11 %. Smaller amount of oxygen required for the combustion process comparing with petroleum diesel. Biodiesel has better combustion, ignition performance than petroleum diesel. ● Aromatic hydrocarbons contain carcinogenic ingredients rather not sulfur, lead, halogen and other harmful substances. ● Biodiesel has no need of diesel engine modification, which can be added directly to use.Flash point of biodiesel is higher than petroleum diesel, which is conducive to the safe transport and storage. ● Biodiesel is paraffin -free, low-temperature fluidity, widely applicable area.Biodiesel is a typical "green energy", the energy consumption for biodiesel production is only 25% of petroleum diesel production. It can significantly reduce combustion emissions. Biodiesel is non-toxic, and bio-degradation rate reaches 98%. The biodiesel technology bio-degradation rate is 2 times faster than petroleum diesel. The production of biodiesel can improve soil applied, ecological protection, and reduce soil erosion. The utilization of catering waste oil biodiesel can reduce waste oil directly into the environment or re-entering the edible oil system, which has a greater environmental values and social value.

General Analysis of Edible Oil Refining Technology
Edible oil refining processing line usually refers to refinery of crude oil. Presence of impurities in crude oil, not only affects the practical value and safe storage of oil, but also brings difficult to oil deep processing. However, edible oil refining machine is not a complete removal of impurities in oil, but remove detrimental impurities on consumption, storage, industrial production, such as gossypol, proteins, phospholipids, mucus, water, etc. removed and useful "impurities" such as vitamin E, sterols again reserved.Depending on the requirements and purposes of the unnecessary and harmful impurities are removed from the oil to obtain edible meet certain quality standards, that is the purpose of oil refining.Edible oil refining processing line introductionDepending on the operating characteristics and raw materials, oil refining processing line of choices can be broadly divided into three mechanical refining, chemical refining and physical refining processing lines.Sometimes one oil refining technology will produce another refining effect. For instance, edible oil alkaline refining (free fatty acid neutralization) is typically used chemical oil refining process. However, the reaction can be produced saponin pigment absorbing protein, mucus and proteins, and separated from the oil together. Alkaline oil refining is always accompanied by physical and chemical oil refining process.Oil refining is more complex and flexible in operation. Technical condition and economical profit must be taken into consideration during edible oil refining project. Only if a suitable oil refining processing line can obtain high quality and safe edible oil. Read the full article

Argan Oil: Morocco’s ‘Liquid Gold’
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Argan oil is made from the seeds of the small fruit of the argan tree (Argania spinosa). It is one of the natural, plant-based oils that can be beneficial for your skin This is one of the natural, plant-based oils that can be beneficial for your skin, as it can potentially help repair the natural skin-barrier function. Topical application of this oil may help boost cell production, making your skin healthier and providing ample moisture A study has found that argan oil may reduce sebum levels in people with oily skin — meaning it can potentially help minimize the appearance of acne Get to know more about this oil’s nourishing and rejuvenating benefits, and why having a bottle at home may be a wise health decision
What Is Argan Oil?
Argan oil is made from the seeds of the small fruit of Argania spinosa, a slow-growing tree that's native to Southwestern Morocco and in the Algerian province Tindouf, located in the Western Mediterranean area.The argan fruit appears like a shriveled golden apple, with a thick peel and a fleshy and bitter pulp. The seeds are almond-shaped, resembling a dried olive. Each seed contains one to three oil-rich kernels.   As mentioned above, tree goats were essential in argan oil production in the past. The fruit, which accounts for as much as 84 percent of their diet, is eaten whole by the goats. However, the nuts are not digested, and are instead excreted in the goat's feces. The droppings were then gathered by locals and opened to get the seeds inside. The seeds were then cracked, roasted and ground to produce the oil.   However, local co-ops no longer rely on this method, as they seek to deliver only high-quality argan oil, good enough for export. Instead, they now collect the fruit from trees and manufacture the oil by hand, peeling the fruit to extract the seed. This method, albeit much more difficult, yields a higher quality oil for export.   To make argan oil, locals hand-crack the nuts in between two stones, to get the raw kernels out from within the hard shell. These kernels are then hand-ground using a stone grinder, and placed in a mill with water to produce a dough-like mixture. This dough is then hand-kneaded for hours to extract the oil. Because of this tedious process, each worker takes as much as three days to make a single liter of argan oil — no wonder it can fetch a very high price, selling for around $300 or more per liter.   The increase in demand for argan oil has led to a surge in oil-making co-ops. In 1999, there were only three argan oil co-ops; in 2010, the number had risen to 150. Nevertheless, this has definitely helped the economic landscape of Morocco. According to one analysis, the "argan boom" has helped increase the number of Moroccan girls attending secondary school. To ensure the sustainability of the oil, and to protect the eco-region on which more than 1,200 other plant and animal species thrive, UNESCO designated the argan forest in Southwestern Morocco as a biosphere reserve in 1998.

Side effects of corn oil
Corn oil has many potential benefits, including its ability to prevent oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, reduce "bad" cholesterol, protect skin, promote visual health and reduce allergic reactions. However, there are side effects that you need to consider, such as the cancer risk and potential toxicity of higher weight gain. Some of these side effects depend largely on the type of corn oil you use and the way you extract corn oil from corn itself. Corn oil comes from the germ of maize plant, which is one of the most widely planted and dependent crops in the world. Because of this huge availability, it is the cheapest vegetable oil and therefore the most popular one. Corn oil can be obtained by advancing the extension process of pressing, refining and steam distillation. Although this produces oil with very high smoke points. Compared with other vegetable oils, corn oil is mainly used as edible oil because of its semi-neutral flavor and cost. However, some people use organic corn oil in medicine or local applications, even as massage oil. The health benefits of this oil depend on the source and processing method of the oil. Unrefined organic oils have some benefits, as described below. Balance cholesterol levels. Both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are needed by the body because they help control inflammation and excess cholesterol. However, these fats are not balanced in most forms of corn oil, especially in refined varieties. Therefore, this oil can reduce blood pressure and balance the amount of cholesterol is very limited, so the use of cooking oil as little as possible. Improve visual health. In addition to the fat in corn oil, there are other components, such as flavonoids and lutein, which can reduce the free radical activity in vivo. Specifically, lutein protects vision and prevents developing cataracts. Prevention of chronic diseases. Mono-unsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, flavonoids and vitamin E all have antioxidant properties that can help reduce oxidative stress throughout the body. When used in moderation, the oil can help prevent chronic diseases, even reduce the incidence of certain cancers, and also help to make the skin look younger. Reduce allergies. Some compounds in corn oil are known to reduce allergic reactions in the body and help prevent symptoms of asthma and rhinitis. Although corn oil is seldom used as topical oil, it can help allergic skin when used directly. There are also side effects of corn oil you don't know about: Corn oil, including its potential toxicity, increases the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, stomach irritation, and weight gain. Even when used in small quantities, people seeking healthy vegetable oils tend to stay away from corn oil. However, if you intend to use this oil, be sure to use organic and unrefined corn oil, which contains the highest levels of potentially beneficial compounds. Toxicity Because of the use of high levels of herbicides and pesticides in agricultural practices, as well as countries that can produce corn oil, this oil may be toxic. This may cause problems in your liver and kidneys. Heart health Although corn oil contains some monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, the balance between_-3 and_-6 is seriously deviated, and the fat content of this oil is still very high. A tablespoon contains more than 20% of the daily fat. For some people who overuse, especially those who are already dealing with cardiovascular problems, it can lead to cholesterol problems. Obesity Corn oil may have some health benefits, but it also has high energy levels (more than 120 tablespoons per tablespoon and 40 tablespoons per tablespoon of olive oil). Therefore, overuse of this oil can significantly increase your daily calorie intake, which you may not even be aware of, and can easily affect your weight loss goals.   Read the full article

What is Soya Lecithin?
Soya lecithin is a compound made from soybean oil and is found in many commercially produced foods and dietary supplements. There are a few known mild side effects to using soya lecithin, but overall health reports are positive. Some scientists believe that soya lecithin contains nutrients that can help the body improve cardiovascular health, athletic performance, liver function, and fetal development. A doctor should always be consulted before using introducing supplements into the diet, even though the herbal supplements containing soya lecithin can be found over the counter. In the US, soya lecithin has not been tested and is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for safety. Lecithin is an essential fat that can be found naturally in egg yolks and soybeans. Commercially, lecithin is extracted from refined soybean oil and used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in a number of products, such as candy bars, baking mixes, and batter for fried foods, to keep fats from separating. Soy lecithin is a compound made up of three different phospholipids and contains the nutrient choline, which is a main component of cell membranes in the body. Choline keeps cell membranes from hardening, making it possible for nutrients to enter and exit cells. Proponents of soya lecithin claim that this cellular function also helps the body prevent cholesteroland other fatty buildup from forming deposits in the arteries, which is important for efficient cardiovascular function. This connection with breaking up fats leads to the claim that soya lecithin supplements can aid in weight loss. Soya lecithin also has been credited with helping the blood flow more efficiently through the vascular system because it makes it less “sticky.” There have also been claims that the choline in soya lecithin can be beneficial in preventing memory loss and improving liver function; these claims are based on the fact that lecithin is converted into acetylcholine by the body, which is used to transmit nerve impulses, but this has not been evaluated formally. There have been concerns that soy lecithin can be dangerous for people with sensitivity to soy or who are allergic to soy. Allergic reactions can include difficulty breathing, hives, and swelling of the face, tongue, and lips. The data on the allergenic properties of soy lecithin is limited, however, and soy supporters insist that the allergenic proteins in commercially processed foods are either processed out or used in amounts too small to pose a threat. Other side effects have been reported from large amounts of soy lecithin use, including mild dizziness or fainting and low blood pressure. Read the full article

Should I Use Tea Tree Oil for Yeast Infection?
Tea tree oil can successfully end symptoms of a yeast infection because the oil is anti-fungal. Yeast infections are typically caused by the overgrowth of Candida, which is a type of fungus existing normally inside vaginal microflora along with other bacteria. When the microflora becomes unbalanced due to antibiotics, illness, or poor nutrition, the excess yeast can lead to redness, swelling, and itching; all these symptoms can be cured by tea tree oil. Occasionally, bumps filled with pus will also result, and these, too, can be dried out and reduced by the consistent use of the essential oil, which is also anti-bacterial and antiviral. The highly-concentrated oil, known by its Latin name Melaleuca alternifolia, can sting and severely burn when used without dilution on sensitive areas like the vulva and vagina. Carrier oils like olive oil, castor oil, and sunflower oils are typically mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil for yeast infection treatment. The mixture can be applied with a cotton swab to affected areas two to four times a day, or a tampon can be drenched in the oil mixture for insertion into the vagina overnight. For convenience, many people elect to purchase ready-made suppositories with tea tree oil as an ingredient. Others prefer to run a hot bath and then add five to 10 drops of the oil. Some women will boil an herbal tea and add tea tree oil before using the mixture for douching. Many doctors warn against douching, however, because it can upset vaginal microflora of even more. Although using tea tree oil for yeast infection can stop itching and destroy excess fungus, the natural treatment may not prevent the recurrence of yeast infections unless other factors change. Women, according to homeopathic professionals, should look at underlying causes for yeast infection, such as a diet high in sugar, which feeds Candida. The use of antibiotics to end infections can also kill off good bacteria in the vagina, leading to a high percentage of fungus and, consequently, yeast infection. After this happens, supplements containing probiotics may be beneficial to some women to restore their bacterial balance. Eating yogurt which contains live and active probiotics can also be helpful, as these active bacteria produce hydrogen peroxide which annihilates the yeast. Some women attempt to apply such yogurt inside the vagina, which can be counter-productive if the yogurt has sugar added. If the Candida oversupply is related to the presence of a sexually transmitted disease, tea tree oil likely will not be enough of a cure unless professional medical treatment for the venereal disease is simultaneously sought.

What are the Uses for Tea Tree Oil?
The uses for tea tree oil are generally antiseptic and anti-fungal. Tea tree oil is believed to have a long history of medicinal use among the aboriginal peoples of Australia. The oil is generally made from the leaves of the tea tree, Melaleuca alternifolia, and it has been used externally to treat viral, fungal, and bacterial infections including athlete's foot, herpes, acne, dandruff, and warts. Tea tree oil is also believed capable of boosting the immune system and improving respiratory complaints. It can cause serious side effects if used internally, and is not considered suitable for pregnant women or children. The leaves of the tea tree generally contain plant chemicals known as terpenoids. Researchers believe that the terpenoids in tea tree leaves give the oil its medicinal properties. The oil is typically extracted by first steaming and then crushing the fresh leaves. One of the primary uses for tea tree oil may be as a first-aid remedy for burns, wounds, and minor skin irritations. Tea tree oil can be used to treat insect stings and bites, sunburn, boils, vaginitis, and blisters. Another of the proven uses for tea tree oil is its topical application for the treatment of fungal infection like athlete's foot or candidiasis. Tea tree oil mouthwash and toothpastes are believed effective at battling tooth decay and periodontal disease. Tea tree oil can potentially be toxic if swallowed, so these products are generally only considered safe if the user always takes care to spit them out. They are not generally deemed appropriate for young children. As an ingredient in soaps, shampoos, and ointments, tea tree oil can treat dandruff, oily skin, psoriasis, and eczema. Tea tree oil is generally considered an effective remedy for most minor skin rashes. Shampoos containing at least a five percent concentration of tea tree oil may help to eliminate infestations of head lice. The uses for tea tree oil also include inhaling its vapors to soothe respiratory complains. A few drops of the oil can be added to boiling water, and the steam inhaled, each day for several days to relieve minor complaints such as sore throat, cough, and runny nose. Tea tree oil may also help relieve the symptoms of more serious respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, and tuberculosis. The regular use of tea tree oil can help boost immunity, and help fight or prevent common viral illnesses such as influenza, chicken pox, shingles, and measles. Tea tree oil should generally not be used internally, as it can fatally suppress the central nervous system. Symptoms of tea tree oil overdose can include vomiting, diarrhea, lowered immunity, drowsiness, mental confusion, lack of coordination, and coma. Read the full article

What Are Possible Tea Tree Oil Side Effects?
Tea tree oil, or melaleuca oil, can potentially treat several different health issues, although it is perhaps best known for its ability to kill bacteria and fungus. Despite its many benefits, however, there are some tea tree oil side effects that consumers should be aware of prior to usage. When swallowed, it can cause severe health issues, and some people are allergic tea tree oil even if it is only used topically as directed. If used in combination with medications that can affect the skin, severe dryness is one of the most common tea tree oil side effects. In some cases, it can cause hormonal changes in young boys when combined with lavender oil. Generally, tea tree oil is considered safe for most people when used topically; however, this is not true when ingested. If swallowed, tea tree oil can be toxic, and potentially cause a coma. In most cases, tea tree oil side effects when ingested include disorientation, loss of control over one’s limbs, and the development of a painful rash. When tea tree oil is consumed, immediate medical attention is necessary. As with most topical skin treatments, there are some people who will be allergic or sensitive to tea tree oil. Irritation at the application site is one of the primary indicators that a person is allergic, including itching, redness, and inflammation. A true allergic reaction to tea tree oil can cause the same type of health issues as other allergic reactions, including difficulty breathing and a breakout of hives. One of the most common tea tree oil side effects occurs when it is combined with other medications that cause dryness in the skin. In many cases, tea tree oil is used to treat acne, and can help to kill any bacteria causing breakouts as well as dry out existing breakouts so that they heal more quickly. When combined with other acne medications that work similarly, such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, excessive dryness can occur, which may cause peeling, itching, or extreme discomfort. The combination of tea tree and lavender oil can cause young boys to develop excess breast tissue. As of 2011, researchers have yet to discover why exactly this occurs, although some believe the combination of the two products causes changes in a boy’s hormones. While there are some products that contain both of these oils, these side effects can occur even if the two oils are not contained in the same product, but a person uses two products containing one of the oils at the same time.

What Is Sunflower Lecithin?
Sunflower lecithin is a type of phospholipid abundant in sunflower seeds. This fatty substance is obtained by dehydrating a sunflower seed and separating it into three parts: the oil, gum, and other solids. Lecithin comes from the gum byproduct of this mechanical process. Nutritionally, it is an emulsifier that endows foods with a creamy, moist, smooth texture. It's often used in chocolates, faux butters and baked goods, such as muffins. Although soy was once the dominant source for lecithin in foods, the type that comes from sunflowers has become favored by those seeking an alternative due to their concerns about soy. Many people have soy allergies, and most soy is genetically modified. Some critics also complain that chemical solvents are used in the processing of soy lecithin and that traces of those solvents remain in the food. A source of phytoestrogen, soy can allegedly make some people susceptible to cancers and thyroid dysfunctions, critics claim. In contrast, sunflower lecithin is frequently organic and natural with no genetic engineering, according to agricultural studies.Instead of being processed with a chemical solvent, it is normally processed by cold-pressing. It is believed to have little to no side effects in most individuals, although some may experience allergies to this type of lecithin as well. Besides using lecithin as a cooking ingredient, many people take it as a nutritional supplement. Nutritionists praise it as a beneficial source of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylcholine is a nutrient that aids in mental recall, muscle conditioning and maintaining the nervous system. Lecithin’s greatest benefit is that it has an abundance of essential fatty acids, which are helpful to the brain. In overall fatty acid composition, nutritionists say sunflower lecithin has virtually as much benefit as the traditional soy lecithin. Soy lecithin has slightly more palmitic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, but lecithin from sunflowers has more stearic acid and linoleic acid, which is believed to help lower cholesterol levels. They are equal in the levels of oleic acid, which is touted for its ability to reduce the risk of heart disease. Some studies boast that sunflower has more choline while soy has more of the other phosopholipid components. Nutritionists recommend roughly 1,200 mg of lecithin daily to achieve the nerve, brain, and muscle benefits. Supplements come in liquid, granule, and powder form, and tablets are sometimes available. Many users believe that the granules are the most effective form. They are often mixed into drinks like fruit juices or skim milk. Read the full article

Oil Pretreatment and Oil Pressing Introduction
The establishment of oilseeds pretreatment depends on oilseed varieties, oil processing method, product quality standard, oilseeds utilization and invest on oil machine project etc. Oil pressing is type of simple oil making process, which includes pressing, pre-pressing, high temperature oil pressing, and cold oil pressing etc. Simple oil pressing process flow adopts one time pressing or twice pressing of oilseeds. It enables special oil taste and flavor during processing, such as sesame oil, fragrant, peanut oil, coconut butter etc. This oil pressing method is also applicable for small-scale oil plant. Usually high pressing oil yield is required during oil pressing project. Oil pressing processing flow is always combined with oil extraction, which is mostly used in large-scale oil plant or bulk oilseeds processing. There is 70% oil content pressed out from oilseeds in primary press, and residual oil is extracted from oilseed cake by organic solvent. High temperature oil pressing method is applicable in oilseed prepressing or oilseed pretreatment. Cold oil pressing machine is adopted on condition that pressed cake is used as materials for oil fat production and medical production. The oilseed cake keeps low temperature of less than 70 degrees during cold oil press. It assures invariance of oilseed protein denaturation. Users can choose different oil press method on basis of characteristic of oilseed. Read the full article

What Is Peanut Flour?
Peanut flour is the material left over after peanuts are crushed and drained of their oil. This gluten-free alternative to wheat flour is regularly used to enhance the flavor of various recipes or as a substitute in low-carbohydrate diets. It can be found in sauces, soups, breads, cakes and noodles as well as several types of protein shakes and bars. To make this type of flour, peanuts must first be roasted and shelled. Then the seeds are crushed and the oil is pressed out to be sold. Popular in many cultures, peanut oil is used for many dishes, from stir fries to French fries. This resultant paste can then be dried and firmly pressed until a powdery flour is produced. The fat content and coloring of peanut flour varies slightly, depending on the preparation. Typically, light-, medium- and dark-roasted styles come with a 12 percent or 28 percent fat content. A darker roast comes from a longer period of cooking. The fat content depends on how powerfully the peanut paste has been rid of its oil. Most of these fats are not saturated, but rather the well-regarded unsaturated kind. A general rule is that the darker the roast and higher the fat content, the more noticeable the peanut flavor. In any case, peanut flour is low in carbohydrates compared to wheat or white flour, containing just one-fourth the amount of the others. Its protein content, however, is markedly higher. While regular flour has a protein count of just 13 g (nearly 0.5 oz.) for every 1 cup (about 8 oz.), peanut flour weighs in with twice as much at 31 g (more than 1 oz.) per 1 cup (about 8 oz.). This is why peanut flour can often be found among the ingredients of protein bars and shakes. Chefs regularly use peanut flour to thicken soups or sauces as well as to add flavor to entrees, side dishes and desserts. Instead of an outright substitution for white flour, more than often chefs will merely replace some of the enriched flour with peanut flour. In other cases, however, an outright substitution is made at an even ratio. Peanut flour can even be reformed into a style of peanut butter. This is done by restoring the flour to its paste form through adding a little peanut oil or just water to the flour. After altering the sugar and salt to taste, this impromptu spread is ready for a sandwich. Read the full article

What is Safflower?
Safflower, which is also known as carthamus tinctorius, is a plant that is primarily grown for use as a herbal medication and for food. The plant is native to India, Iran, and North Africa, and it can also be found in other parts of the world, including areas on North America. Safflower grows to be approximately 3-feet (1 meter) tall, and it produces white and red flowers. These plants are generally harvested in the summertime. There is an oil with many popular uses that can be made from the seeds of safflower. It generally works very well for deep frying, and it is often used in salad dressings because it doesn’t congeal when refrigerated. The oil is frequently used in certain skin products, and it generally works well in this capacity, partly because it has no odor. Safflower has been used very extensively as a herbal medicine. Some cultures use it to treat fevers and other flu-like symptoms, while others use it as a laxative. In some places, people believe that it can help start menstruation, and some use it for treating skin rashes and burns or cleaning wounds. The seeds have often been used to feed birds. One of the big advantages of these seeds over other kinds of feed is that only certain birds like them. Most undesirable birds and squirrels will not eat safflower seeds, so they allow people to be more selective about the kinds of birds they attract to their feeders. In ancient times, the plant was often used to create a red dye. This dye was used as a primitive form of makeup and to change the color of clothing. Even in those times, people also extracted cooking oil from the plant’s seeds, and it was also used as a replacement for the herb saffron in some cooking situations. There are potential dangers associated with safflower. Some reports indicate that an overdose can cause severe problems in pregnant women or even miscarriage. It has also been blamed for causing a thinning of blood, so people with bleeding conditions like ulcers may wish to avoid it. For this same reason, some experts say it’s not a good idea to mix safflower-based products with blood-thinning medications, because they may work together and cause an extreme reaction.

What Are the Different Uses of Sesame Oil?
Ask people how to use sesame oil and the most common and obvious answer will be for cooking. There are, however, other uses for this type of oil that do not involve food. In addition to cooking, it may also be used for massages, treating dry skin, and in organic insecticides. Even pharmaceutical companies use sesame oil in intramuscular injections. One of the most popular uses of sesame oil is in the preparation of some types of food. This is particularly true in certain parts of the world such as South India, China and Korea. Sesame oil can be used in making stir-fry dishes, marinades, salad dressings and even for frying. The taste of the oil varies depending on its color. Lighter oils tend to be mild, while darker oils have a more intense flavor and are used primarily when preparing Asian dishes. Another of the more popular uses of sesame oil is as a topical treatment for the skin. Its emollient properties may help soothe and moisturize dry skin with regular applications. People who are suffering from body aches or anxiety may also benefit from its use. Sesame oil often serves as a base oil for massages and can be mixed with oils that are too irritating to use on their own. Ad There are multiple benefits when it comes to the dietary and topical uses of sesame oil. It is rich in antioxidants, including vitamin E. Sesame oil also contains both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that may help in lowering high blood pressure. Prior to implementing any of these uses of sesame oil it is important to determine if there is an allergy or sensitivity. People who are allergic to sesame seeds should not use the oil either topically or internally. To check for potential skin allergies, apply a small amount of the oil behind the ear and wait for 24 hours. Within that time period, check on a regular basis for any redness, rash or obvious irritation that may indicate a reaction. If diarrhea is an issue, taking sesame oil should also be avoided as it is a mild laxative and can worsen the problem. Some of the lesser known uses of sesame oil involves insecticides and injections. In terms of injections, it is often used as a carrier for certain types of intramuscular injections. Intramuscular injections are injections that go directly into the muscle. Medications, such as progesterone for fertility treatments, are made using an oil solution. Sesame oil may also be used in the manufacturing of insecticides. It is considered a minimal risk active ingredient and is frequently used in organic insecticides. Read the full article
