Processing in a nutshell
Tropical oilseeds and edible nuts are Important crops widely used for human consumption. The by-products of decortication and oil extraction also have many uses including incorporation into animal feed and use as fuel. Decortication of tropical oilseeds and edible nuts is a study of NRI's work into decortication processes of seven tropical oilseeds and nuts: groundnuts, balanites, cashews, coconut, cottonseed, macadamia and sunflower. Despite botanical similarities between some crops, each requires a different shelling or dehusking process. NRI's studies outline the most efficient techniques of decortication currently available. Further work on decortication of cashew nut, coconut and balanites using prototype equipment will be reported in a later publication.
