The provided picture illustrates the steps involved to extract oil from freshly harvested avocadoes.
Overall, the process is relatively complex as it consists of several stages, starting with collecting the avocadoes and concluding with packing the product.
In the first stage, avocadoes are harvested from orchards before rotten or damaged ones are separated and discarded. Then, the selected avocadoes are washed thoroughly before going into the blender, in which the seeds and skins are thrown away, leaving only the pulp for further use.
In the next stage, the well-mashed pulp is heated with the temperature below 45-50 degree, ready for the 2-stage-centrifugation. In the first stage of centrifugation, solid matter is separated from the liquid, which is disposed afterwards. Moving to the second stage, the liquid is further divided into oil and water as the water is later disposed. Subsequently, the extracted oil is filtered to remove impurities before clarified oil is dispensed into different bottles and ready to be sold.
