As the global demand for vegetable oils continues to grow, how to increase oil production has become an important issue that many production companies need to solve. Traditional oil production technology has limitations in terms of extraction efficiency and quality assurance, such as high energy consumption, low conversion rate and environmental impact. To maintain an advantage in the fierce market competition, companies need to use the latest scientific and technological means to improve production processes and increase oil extraction efficiency and output.
Genetic engineering technology is an important part of modern biotechnology. By modifying the genes of oil plants, their oil content and environmental adaptability can be optimized. For example, by increasing the expression levels of genes related to lipid synthesis, the lipid accumulation of plants can be significantly increased. In addition, genetic engineering can enhance plant resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental tolerance, thus increasing overall yields.
Enzyme technology has been increasingly used in oil extraction and processing in recent years. Through enzymatic hydrolysis reaction, oil plant cell walls can be decomposed more efficiently and the release rate of oil can be increased. For example, using cellulase to treat raw materials can greatly improve the efficiency of oil extraction. At the same time, enzyme technology also plays an important role in the oil refining process, which can remove impurities and improve the quality of oil while maintaining the nutritional content of oil.
The latest pressing technology, such as supercritical carbon dioxide extraction technology, is another major breakthrough in increasing oil production. Supercritical carbon dioxide has excellent solubility at lower temperatures and high pressures, and can efficiently extract oil without destroying its nutritional content and quality. Compared with traditional pressing methods, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction has significant advantages in energy use and environmental protection. For example, according to some research data, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction technology can increase the extraction rate by more than 30% compared with traditional pressing methods, and consumes less energy (see the figure below).
In view of the outstanding performance of genetic engineering, enzyme technology and advanced pressing technology in improving oil production and quality, companies should actively explore and introduce these cutting-edge technologies. During the implementation process, companies need to work closely with relevant scientific research institutions and technology providers to ensure the smooth progress of technology transformation. At the same time, companies should also focus on technical training to improve employees' operational skills and lay the foundation for the promotion and application of new technologies.
In addition, when enterprises choose production technologies that are suitable for themselves, they should comprehensively consider factors such as cost-effectiveness, environmental impact, and market demand, and formulate technological improvement plans that are consistent with the actual situation of the enterprise.
By using genetic engineering, enzyme technology and advanced pressing processes, companies can not only significantly increase oil production and quality, but also achieve breakthroughs in energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection. The application of these new technologies will provide strong technical support for enterprises in future market competition and help enterprises achieve sustainable development in the global market.
