Traditional Cold Press Process of Making Of Mustard Oils

The process used for the extraction of oils makes all the difference to its quality and nutritional value. In the conventional methods, oil is extracted using high temperatures and heat. It breaks down the composition of the oil thereby leading to the loss of it’s nutritional value. Trans fats are produced in this process, which are harmful for our health. Further they undergo hydrogenation process and treated with harmful chemicals for the purpose of refining and removing the odour.  High-temperature refining can leave behind harmful residues of chemicals and solvents used during the process which can play havoc to our health.

Traditional cold press process for extracting mustard oil involves crushing the seeds at the room temperature to produce oil. As there is no involvement of high heat, the process is time consuming with low yield but natural flavour, aroma, and nutrients of the oil remains intact. No refining is carried out instead filtration of oil is carried out using the traditional cloth filters. As the process does not involve the use of any chemicals or solvents, it ensures that the oil remains pure and free of harmful residues. The natural nutritional value of the oil, such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants are preserved in this method.

The natural antioxidants present in oil produced with cold press method are good for our health and help to preserve its freshness and prevent it from going rancid, giving it a longer shelf life compared to refined oils. It offers a lot of benefits for your good health and helps prevent chronic ailments.
