The production process of vegetable oil involves the removal of oil from plant components, typically seeds. This can be done via mechanical extraction using an oil mill or chemical extraction using a solvent. The extracted oil can then be purified and, if required, refined or chemically altered. Chemical extraction (using solvents) produces higher yields and is quicker and less expensive than mechanical extraction. The most common solvent is petroleum-derived hexane (in Industrial and Environmental Test Kit 3).

The delivery charge is based on the weight of your parcel. You will see how much this is, once you choose your shipping country as you go through checkout.
