Canola oil is a cooking oil made from crushing the seeds of the canola plant, a cultivar of rapeseed. The seeds are cleaned, heated, and flaked before being mechanically pressed and/or solvent-extracted to release the oil. The extracted oil then undergoes refining, which includes filtering and deodorizing, to remove impurities and create the final product.

How Canola Oil is Made

1. Harvest & Cleaning:
2. Canola seeds are harvested from pods on the plant and then cleaned to remove sticks, stems, stones, and other impurities.
3. 
   
4. Conditioning:
5. The seeds are then lightly heated to make their outer shells more pliable, which prepares them for processing.
6. 
   
7. Flaking:
8. The conditioned seeds are passed through large rollers that crush them into flakes, increasing their surface area.
9. 
   
10. Extraction:
11. Pressing: The flakes are fed into an expeller or screw press, which squeezes out a large portion of the oil.
12. 
    
13. Solvent Extraction: Most commercial canola oil is further extracted using hexane, a solvent, to remove the remaining oil from the pressed seed cake.
14. 
    
15. Refining:
16. The crude oil undergoes refining to remove impurities:
17. Degumming/Deacidification: Water precipitation and organic acids remove gums and free fatty acids.
18. 
    
19. Bleaching: The oil is passed through a clay filter to remove color pigments.
20. 
    
21. Deodorizing: Steam distillation is used to remove any unpleasant odors and flavors.
