Determining optimal technological modes for pressing oil from melon seeds to justify rational engineering and structural solutions

The object of the study is the fruits of melon. The problem is the crop that remains in the fields. The article provides an overview of technologies for the processing of melons, and studies of the authors are given. On the basis of these studies, technological schemes for the production and formulation of such products as jam, jam, confiture, blended juices, vegetable oil from melon seeds were proposed and justified. Optimal additives and ways of introducing pectin into them are determined. The presence in finished products of vitamins of group B, vitamin C, β-carotene, almost all essential amino acids, micro- and macroelements, the content of which does not noticeably decrease during storage under the optimal conditions established by us. Studies have been carried out on the selection of an extractant and the determination of the optimal parameters for extraction, isolation, neutralization and drying of pectin from melon peel. As a result, pectin was obtained with a degree of esterification of 67...69 %, a jelly-forming ability of more than 170 degrees of Tarr Baker, and a jelly strength of about 460 mm Hg

“…An oil press for melon seeds was developed, an analysis was carried out and a conclusion was obtained when obtaining oil from melon seeds, the husk lowers the quality of the oil, without the husk the amount of oil decreases. 10 % of husks is chosen as a rational condition for squeezing oil by cold pressing [10].…”

“…Ukraine is one of the world-leading countries in production and export of sunflower oil and integration of the Ukrainian and the EU market is prospective way for economics and further biogas production [5]. The screw presses for different oil crops have almost identical principles of operation, but the technological regimes and constructive peculiarities can be varied [6]. There is some development of modern constructions of oil presses on the basis of analysis of the basic operational concepts for the screw channel and the influence of its parameters on the productivity [7].…”

The article presents the investigation of constructive and technological parameters of an energy-efficient screw oil press. It is outlined the principle of operation of an energy-efficient screw oil press. The construction of the oil press is improved by the steam atomizer that is installed in the receiving hopper under the rifled rollers for moisture-thermal treatment with steam, which is completed with the heat exchanger, heating element, expansion tank and hydro group. Also, a steam generator connected to a steam atomizer which is embodied into the receiving hopper. It was analyzed the influence of the optimization criteria (oil yield, energy consumption and press productivity) on the efficiency of the technological process. These optimization criteria depend on the main independent factors: the length of the reception and preparation chamber, the material (sunflower pulp) moisture; the heating temperature, the screw rotation speed, the linear speed of movement of screw shaft turns. The optimal constructive and technological parameters of energy-efficient screw oil press are considered. The energy-efficient screw oil press refers to the equipment of the oil enterprises of small productivity and due to its design, it allows to use a simple technological scheme of oil pressing and to reduce the amount of energy and resources spent on the technological process in the context of use in sustainable food systems.

“…Currently, there is no equipment available for simultaneous purification of safflower husks, compressing, filtering, and sedimentation of oil, and existing analogs only work in one direction. Therefore, the object of the study is safflower, including its physical and mechanical properties and aerodynamic parameters, while the subject of the study is the process of separating the husks from safflower, compressing the oil raw material, and purifying the oil from mechanical impurities by centrifugation through the combination of husking, compressing, filtration, and sedimentation processes (Kairbayeva et al, 2022; Shcherbakov & Lobanov, 2012).…”

There is growing interest in exploring new types of cultivated plants that offer unique health benefits. Safflower is a promising plant nutrition resource that has gained popularity in Kazakhstan and worldwide. However, one of the pressing issues is improving the consumption pattern of food products, including vitamins and microelements. This article aims to develop a small‐scale processing line for safflower oil production in small enterprises of the cereal‐processing industry. The primary focus is on purifying safflower from impurities and husks, as well as compressing and centrifuging the oil raw material for high‐quality and biologically valuable product. The authors developed a processing line consisting of a sheller‐compress and a centrifuge of original constructions for separating husks from the kernel and compressing and centrifuging the oil raw material. The process combines husking, compressing, filtration, and sedimentation to ensure primary purification of plant oils and the removal of mechanical impurities. The production of safflower oil has become an urgent task due to its rich composition of vitamins and phospholipids. The newly developed processing line ensures the production of high‐quality safflower oil and has great potential for small enterprises in the cereal‐processing industry. The article highlights the importance of primary purification of plant oils and its impact on the quality of the final product.Practical applicationsThe following conclusions emerged from the research. The relevance of fat oil growing, including signs of increased popularity of safflower oil in Kazakhstan and in the world has been studied. Various types (husking, compressing, sedimentation, centrifuging and filtering) of primary purification of safflower and purification of oil from mechanical impurities have been investigated. The dependence of extraction of pressed safflower oil on the speed of rotation of the filter and settling rotor and the equipment structure itself has been studied. The sheller‐compress for purification of safflower has been developed to combine husking and compressing processes to increase the oil content of the processed oil raw material and the productivity of the processing equipment. The centrifuge is designed for primary purification of safflower oil from mechanical impurities, allowing to combine the sedimentation and filtering processes due to rotors and to obtain purified safflower oil. The problem of intensification of the purification process is characterized by the ratio of different defined parameters. As a result, optimum parameters were determined and a processing line was developed with the use of a sheller‐compress and a centrifuge with a filtering and pre.
