Sesame Processing

Cleaning
The sesame seeds are cleaned using destoner and magnetic separator to remove all the impurities and dust particles

Roasting/heating
The sesame seeds are roasted before crushing. Heating is done to remove excess water from the seeds after the cleaning process.

Pressing
Less than 9 % moisture content (added with palm jaggery in case of cold pressed oil) seeds are pressed using screw press or hydraulic press at less than 70°C temperature.

Settling/Filtration
After the oil has been pressed from the seeds, the oil is then given some time to settle. Once the oil has settled after pressing,filtration is done using filter press to remove the particulate matter in the sesame oil and clear sesame oil is separated.

Refining
The crude sesame oil is refined using alkali refining / neutralization, bleaching and deodorization to obtain the refined sesame oil
