Question: What does the term "pressing" in the fractionation process mean?
Answer: “Pressing” is sometimes used during the fractionation process to separate small amounts of liquid oil from a larger quantity of solid fat. The process squeezes or presses the liquid oil from the solid fat by means of hydraulic pressure. This process is used commercially to produce hard butters from fats such as palm kernel oil and coconut oil.
