kylmäpuristukseen
Kylmäpuristus, often translated as cold pressing, is a method of extracting oils from seeds, nuts, and fruits without the use of heat. This technique relies on mechanical pressure applied by a press to rupture the cell walls of the source material and release the oil. The process is typically carried out at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius, which is crucial for preserving the natural enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants, and flavor compounds present in the oil.
Unlike methods that involve heat, such as hot pressing or solvent extraction, cold pressing avoids the degradation
The fruits and seeds are usually cleaned and sometimes de-shelled before being fed into the press. The
