Abstract

The use of mechanical pressing is thought to be a suitable method for small and medium-sized farmers in developing nations, due to its reduced initial and ongoing expenses when compared to the use of a screw press and a solvent expression procedure. A combined roaster-expelling machine was used in the study to examine the effects of applied pressure, moisture content, and roasting temperature on the oil output of groundnut seeds. A 33 box – benken design was used for the experiment. Moisture content, roasting temperature, and pressure applied were experimental variables that affected oil yield. Using the response surface analysis method, the experiment's parameters were optimized. Data analysis shows that all the variables significantly affected the oil yield at 95% confidence level. The optimum conditions of the independent variables for the oil yield were determined at, moisture content 6%, roasting temperature 110°C and applied pressure 25 Mpa at corresponding oil yield of 24.5%. Also, the R2 and R2 adj. value of 0.9561 and 0.3432 respectively indicated that the regression model was a good one and verification experiment confirmed the validity of the predicted model. The experimental values were not significantly distinct from the expected values at p0.05, although they were extremely close to them. The developed regression model has served as a foundation for choosing the best process variables for the recovery of oil while using a combination roaster and melon seed expression machine.
