Question

Can you give me the detailed process of how to extract the avocado oil?

Answer 1

A free patent:

Raw avocado oil is extracted from ripe fruit following maceration, heating, addition of herbaceous siliceous material, and pressure extraction. Crude avocado oil can be extracted from the remaining cake by refluxing with suitable solvents. The oil can further be refined by treatment in a diatomaceous earth filter.

Another method

Collect mature, off-grade avocado fruits

Ripen for 2 days

Cut the fruit into pieces and remove the seed (Figure 1)

Sun dry the fresh pieces of avocado until brown to black in colour (Figure 2)

Wrap the dried pieces in a cloth then use a clamp to squeeze the oil

The extracted oil is ready for use as a fuel and burns well in an open lamp

A liter of oil is extracted from between 9 to 11.5 kg, or about 40 to 50 avocado fruits
