How Should Flaxseed Oil Be Pressed? Choosing the Right Process Route Matters

Using the same flaxseed raw material, why do different processing routes lead to completely different product positioning and profit models?
The answer often lies in the choice of oil extraction technology.

In flaxseed oil processing, the extraction process not only determines oil yield, but also directly affects flavor profile, nutrient retention, and final product positioning.

Based on diverse market demands, QIE GROUP, drawing on decades of edible oil engineering experience, offers three proven and practical flaxseed oil processing solutions for commercial-scale projects. 👉(Cold Press vs Hot Press vs Solvent Extraction)

🔹 Cold pressing process operates with low-temperature screw oil press machines, maximizing the retention of heat-sensitive nutrients such as alpha-linolenic acid and lignans. The oil features a light color and clean taste, making it ideal for functional oils and premium health-oriented flaxseed oil markets;

🔹 Hot pressing process combines cooking and mechanical pressing to fully release the natural aroma of flaxseed, better matching traditional consumer preferences and regional edible oil markets;

🔹 Pre-pressing + solvent extraction process is designed for large-scale flaxseed oil production with high oil recovery requirements, balancing efficient oil extraction with comprehensive meal utilization to maximize overall project returns.

📌 There is no universally “best” process—only the most suitable one.
