You’ve probably tried making your own peanut or sesame oil at home—maybe it didn’t turn out as expected. Low yield? Cloudy oil? Or worse, a strange smell that makes you wonder if it's safe to use.
According to industry studies from the Food Processing Research Institute (2023), over 67% of home users report dissatisfaction with their first few attempts due to poor temperature control and inadequate pre-treatment. But here's the good news: these issues are fixable—with the right approach and tools.
Let’s break down what goes wrong—and how to fix it:
| Problem | Root Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low oil yield (under 40%) | Poor seed drying or incorrect pressure | Dry seeds to 5–7% moisture before pressing |
| Oil cloudiness | High temp during extraction or no filtration | Keep temp under 110°C; use fine mesh filter |
| Unpleasant odor | Overheating or contaminated raw materials | Use fresh, clean seeds; avoid burning |
“The key to great homemade oil isn’t just the machine—it’s consistency in process. A single degree off can affect flavor, nutrition, and shelf life.” — Dr. Lena Chen, Food Science Consultant
