Abstract: In our day to day activates we come across many types of oils used for cooking, manufacture of paints, soaps etc. These even play a vital role in the production of emulsions. Where as the required properties of oil for particular usage may differ.

In general there are two types of processes involved in oil extraction. They are mechanical & solvent extractions.

In mechanical extraction we get good quality but of less quantity. Where as in solvent extraction we get good quantity but of less quality.

Good quality oils can be used for edible purpose as these have low free fatty acid (FFA) content. Where as less quality oils cannot be used for edible purpose as these have high FFA.

But many industries are using this solvent extraction process. Which mode us to relay on other countries for good quality of edible oils. If we carry out both these processes simultaneously we can get the oil of high quality & quantity in an economical manner.

The present paper deals with the process to be employed the sequence of steps& testing of oils which are produced by the above mentioned method.
