  • How to optimize shea butter oil yield and quality?
  • Investigated pre-treatment methods for optimizing shea butter oil yield and quality. Roasted shea nuts showed better resistivity to oxidative rancidity. Roasted shea nut quality parameters showed a high oil yield and superior quality. Boiling and untreated nuts showed chances of rancidity in shea butter.‌
  • What is the oil yield of roasted shea nuts?
  • The oil yield refers to the percentage of oil produced from shea nuts. The oil yield extracted from the shea nuts varied depending on the thermal treatment technique utilized. Roasted shea nuts exhibited an oil yield ranging from 48.65 % to 53.53 %, with a mean of 51.25 ± 1.74 %.‌
  • Why are shea nuts not a good quality product?
  • Some pre-treatment processes of shea nuts may not favor the high oil recovery and quality attributes, leading to products that may not conform to market standards for quality, stability, importation, and human consumption.‌
  • Are roasted shea nuts good for oxidative rancidity?
  • Roasted shea nuts showed better resistivity to oxidative rancidity. Roasted shea nut quality parameters showed a high oil yield and superior quality. Boiling and untreated nuts showed chances of rancidity in shea butter. Recommended thorough routine inspection of shea butter produced locally.‌
  • Does roasting shea nuts improve oil extraction efficiency?
  • The results suggest that roasting shea nuts enhances the oil extraction efficiency resulting in higher oil quality and recovery which improves the efficient utilization of resources and the financial viability of the production process for small-scale producers.‌
  • How many tonnes of shea nut were exported in Ghana in 2021?
  • According to the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, Ghana exported 38,792 tonnes of shea nuts in 2021. Shea butter, a natural creamy-coloured fatty product is the most important product extracted from the shea nut. The chemical composition of shea butter is a triglyceride that is naturally rich in vitamins A, E, and F (Didia et al., 2018).
