Discover QIE Group's full-process solution for avocado pomace oil extraction and refining. Maximize yield, preserve nutrients, and achieve premium-quality oil for edible, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications.

With the global surge in demand for healthy oils, avocado oil has become a “green gold” for high-end edible oils, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic industries. However, avocado pomace is highly prone to oxidation, has high moisture content, and is heat-sensitive. Traditional extraction methods often result in low oil yield (<70%) and high free fatty acid content, compromising both quality and nutritional value.

QIE Group leverages over 40 years of experience in edible oil engineering to provide low-temperature expansion, vacuum negative-pressure extraction, and precision refining technologies for avocado pomace. This solution maximizes resource utilization while ensuring oil quality, flavor, and nutrient retention for high-end markets.

Industry Challenges in Avocado Pomace Oil Extraction

Producers frequently encounter the following issues using conventional methods:

  • Dark color and impurities: High-temperature processing damages chlorophyll and natural pigments
  • Off-flavors: Oxidation of pomace affects taste and aroma
  • High free fatty acids (FFA): Impacts flavor and storage stability
  • Nutrient loss: Vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids degrade easily

QIE Group Technical Benchmarks

Key Metrics Traditional Process QIE Custom Solution
Residual Oil 5% - 8% <1%
Solvent Loss > 4.0 kg/t ≤ 1.5kg/t
Vitamin E Retention 60% - 70% >92%
Product Grade Crude/Industrial Premium/ Cosmetic-grade

Through precise process optimization, QIE Group significantly improves oil yield, quality, and nutrient retention compared to conventional methods.

Core Process: From Pomace to Liquid Gold

Low-Temperature Expansion Pre-treatment

Unlike traditional high-heat pressing, QIE Group employs low-temperature mechanical expansion to safely release oil and preserve nutrients:

  • Cell rupture: Instantaneous pressure release breaks pomace cell walls, shortening oil diffusion paths
  • Heat-sensitive protection: Temperature controlled below 60°C to preserve chlorophyll and unsaturated fatty acids
  • Homogenization: Maintains optimal moisture and reduces oxidation risk

This method improves oil yield by 10%-15% while retaining the natural green color and aroma of avocado oil.

Vacuum Negative-Pressure Extraction

Vacuum negative-pressure extraction is a core advantage for medium-to-large-scale projects:

  • Reduced solvent boiling point: Lowers heat exposure, preventing nutrient degradation
  • Deep penetration: Effectively extracts oil from high-moisture pomace, achieving residual oil <1%
  • Energy savings: Recycles heat in the vacuum system, reducing steam consumption by 10%-15%
  • Intelligent temperature control: Continuous monitoring ensures oil stability and nutrient preservation

This technology boosts extraction efficiency while maintaining avocado oil’s natural flavor and nutrients.

Vacuum Solvent Removal and Recovery

After extraction, solvent removal is essential for food safety and compliance:

  • Multi-stage long-tube evaporators and disc stripping towers reduce solvent residues to <10 ppm
  • High solvent recovery: Minimizes operational costs and energy consumption
  • Safe and stable operation: Automated control prevents solvent residues and leaks

This process fully meets EU and US FDA food safety standards, allowing the oil to be used in both edible and cosmetic applications.

Five-Stage Precision Refining: Producing Premium Avocado Oil

Refining determines the final quality of avocado oil. QIE Group provides a customized precision refining line:

Physical Degumming

Removes phospholipids and impurities without chemical additives, improving oil transparency.

Gentle Neutralization

Special centrifuge technology separates free fatty acids from avocado oil prone to emulsification, reducing FFA to <0.3 mg KOH/g.

Low-Temperature Decolorization

High-efficiency activated clay adsorbs residual impurities while preserving natural green or golden color for cosmetic and edible standards.

Fractionation (Optional)

For cold climates, controlled cooling separates high-melting waxes, preventing cloudiness in the final oil.

The refined avocado oil is bright, flavorful, and nutritionally stable—ideal for high-end edible oils, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic raw materials.

Deodorization

Steam or vacuum treatment removes off-flavors and trace volatile compounds, ensuring avocado oil has a clean taste, smooth texture, and improved shelf stability.

The refined oil is bright, flavorful, nutritionally rich, and suitable for high-end edible oils, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic raw materials.
