Fresh Flaxseed Oil Machine: Oxidation and Quality Guide

Flaxseed oil is one of the richest plant-based sources of Omega-3 (ALA). However, this valuable oil has a major drawback: it oxidizes (spoils) very quickly when exposed to air, heat, and light. So, what is the way to get the freshest and healthiest oil? Answer: Fresh pressing with your own cold press machine.

Why Must Flaxseed Oil Be 'Fresh'?

Oxidation means an oil becomes 'rancid' and loses its nutritional value. The Omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed oil are very sensitive to oxidation due to their structure.

There is a high risk that a bottled oil bought from the market has already lost most of its nutritional value by the time it reaches the shelf. Therefore, "fresh pressing" for flaxseed oil is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Here is Fresh Pressing: EB-3100 Flaxseed Pressing (Video)

So, what does the fresh pressing process actually look like? In the video below, you can see how our industrial model EB-3100 processes flaxseed powerfully and at low heat:

Why Cold Press?

As you can see in the video, Efobaba Endüstriyel machines press sensitive seeds like flaxseed at low heat (below 50°C), preserving the Omega-3 structure and always giving you the power to produce 'fresh' oil. Heat is the number one enemy that accelerates oxidation.

"Flaxseed oil should be consumed 'instantly'. The only way to offer your customers the freshest oil is to press it right before their eyes. Our smaller models like the EB-600 are perfect for this job."
