Edible oil extraction system is a kind of chemical leaching method using the organic solvent to process the oil.
Solvent Extraction is a process which involves extracting oil from oil-bearing materials by treating it with a low boiler solvent instead of extracting the oils by mechanical pressing methods (such as expellers, hydraulic presses, etc.) 
The solvent extraction method recovers almost all the oils and even the only 0.5% to 0.7% residual oil in the raw material. In the case of mechanical pressing, the residual oil left in the oil cake may range from 6% to 14%. The solvent extraction method can be applied directly to any raw materials with low oil content. It can also be used to extract pre-pressed oil cakes obtained from high oil content materials. Because of the high percentage of recovered oil, solvent extraction has become the most popular method of extraction of oils and fats. Fat is one of the essential components of the human diet, therefore the demand for oils and fats are increasing with the increase in population and standards of living. Today large quantities of oil cakes such as peanut, cottonseed, linseed, sesame, castor, copra, sunflower, rapeseed etc. are extracted. Direct extraction of rice bran and soybean is also used.
