Discussion
The solid residue left after oil has been pressed from oilseed is the _____.
Answer: C
Correct answer: cake
Cake is the pressed solid leaving an expeller or ghani, still holding 5 to 8 per cent oil because compression cannot squeeze a cellular material dry.
That residual is exactly why the cake is so often solvent extracted afterwards, the resulting meal going to animal feed for its protein. The other terms belong elsewhere: soapstock comes from neutralisation, miscella is the oil-and-solvent solution from an extractor, and meal fines are the small particles carried out of an extraction bed.
