The given diagram illustrates the eight-step process by which oil is extracted from avocados, as well as the recycling protocols taken to mitigate waste.
Overall, it can be observed that the entire procedure is fully mechanized, apart from the initial stage, which requires intensive manual labor to make production faster and more efficient.
To begin with, the harvested fruit is first inspected by workers to sort and remove the rotten ones. Following this, the fresh avocados are washed in a giant water tub to remove dirt and impurities. he selected truit is then crushed in a blender to form a thick paste. Next, the avocado paste is heated at the moderate temperature of 45-50 degrees Celsius in two stages within a centrifuge to separate solids from liquids and oil from water
In the later stages, the unwanted materials, e.g., seeds, skins, and solid waste, are transported to orchards through a delivery truck, whereas the oil undergoes filtration to improve its clarity: finally, the refined avocado oil is dispensed in a bottle and stored for consumption.
