From mustard seed to oil

A basic pressed-oil process has several steps. First, the maker obtains seeds and checks them. The seeds are cleaned to remove unwanted material. Next, a press squeezes the seeds and separates oil from the solid portion.

The oil may be allowed to settle and may be filtered. Packaging comes after quality checks appropriate to the product. Some factories use more processing steps than others. The exact machines, temperatures and filtration steps are not the same for every brand.

A useful question for a manufacturer is: Which seed is used, how is it pressed, and what tests are performed? We should answer these questions about Shree Arnaa only after inspecting the actual production records and packaging.
