Current status
Type cooking oil processing machine Production Capacity 80kg/h-6700kg/h (Customizable) Voltage can be custom-made Certification ISO9001/BV/CE Weight 1300 KG, 1300kg Installation Provide onsite installation and commissioning
But Ofosu (2009) asserts that shea butter extraction by the traditional method has reached 35–40% extraction efficiency. Several studies have been undertaken in order to increase shea butter extraction rate but also to improve the shea butter quality using the traditional processing conditions (Louppe et al., 1995; Hall et al., 1996).

The extracted shea butter then undergoes further processing through refining and deodorizing to create high-quality shea butter, suitable for use in products like chocolates and cosmetics. Recently, there has been a growing interest in eco-friendly and organic production, leading to the use of traditional extraction methods for obtaining
FAQ
- QWhere does shea butter come from?AShea butter is an important lipid material for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Most of the shea butter consumed in the world comes from Africa. The extraction protocol is not standardized among all regions of production. It can be done using either traditional or improved (semi-mechanical) processes.
- QHow much shea butter is exported in Africa?AOver 500,000 metric tonnes of African shea butter products are exported across the globe, with 60% is processed onsite in West Africa. With the global shea butter market estimated to reach $2.9 billion by 2025, shea butter has also emerged as a prime opportunity to address equality, poverty and food insecurity.
- QAre you a factory?AYes, we are a factory, and we also have Overseas Trading Department, our oil processing machines have been sold all over the world.
- QWhat is crude shea butter used for?AThe obtained butter is not standardized; consequently, its direct utilization in food and pharmaceutical industries is limited. Nevertheless, crude shea butter is traditionally used in food preparation, hair and skincare, and raw material in traditional medicines. The semi-mechanical methods decrease the labor burden and improve extraction yield.
- QWhat are shea nuts used for?AShea nuts are usually processed and used for Shea butter extraction which have wide applications in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries . It is used as cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) and enhancer in chocolate manufacturing, providing greater stability and extended shelf life [6,9]. ... ...
- QAre there bottlenecks in the African shea butter industry?AOpening Bottlenecks in the African Shea Butter Industry. Report prepared for Enterprise Works Worldwide, under the supervision of Steev Lynn and Ed Perry with funding from USAID. www.gasselconsult.net/shea/shead ocs [sourced: 02/08/2018]. Lovett PN (2005). Shea butter ex port guide, USAID WATH. Marchand D (1988).
- QWhat are the multifunctional properties of shea butter?AThe multifunctional properties of the shea butter depend strictly on its compositional properties: the peroxide value, moisture content, free fatty acid level and the insoluble impurities. Standard extraction technologies: the traditional, mechanized, enzymatic and chemical methods were used for shea butter extraction.
