other oil bearing materials has become known lately. Very recently, an enzymatic<br />

process was developed for degumming of oils <strong>and</strong> fats in large-scale commercial<br />

operation.<br />

A. Enzymes for Pretreatment of Oilseeds Prior to Oil Extraction<br />

Conventional techniques for the recovery of oils from seeds <strong>and</strong> fruits involve grinding<br />

<strong>and</strong> conditioning by heat <strong>and</strong> moisture to disintegrate the oil-bearing cells, followed<br />

by mechanical pressing in hydraulic presses or expellers or extraction by<br />

organic solvents, such as hexane (see Chapter 8). Fats from animal tissues are frequently<br />

recovered by rendering, i.e., heat treatment with live steam. Lately, aqueous<br />

extraction processes have become known in which the seeds or fruits are ground<br />
