Production of products from oleaginous drupes, especially olive oil, comprises processing whole fruits

摘要

Production of products from oleaginous drupes comprises rapidly heating the cleaned whole fruits with steam, instantaneously evacuating the fruits and condensing the vapors, separating the skins and pits from the pulp in a centrifugal separator, separating the skins and pits and recovering surface oil, maturing the pulp, and separating oil and juice from the pulp in a series of horizontal and vertical plate-type centrifuges.
