Abstract
This paper covers the form and existence of oil expeller as well as manual methods from last decades. It delivers a vibrant introduction to both traditional and improved methods for the extraction of vegetable oil from oilseeds. In the output of edible oils, an advance on the existing traditional methods, environmental factors, socioeconomic and cultural considerations of the users need to be considered. This can be achieved through more research in the recommended area of need. The purpose of the report is to introduce some views of oil expression technology in order to create an interest and awareness of technology, which may help improving the development in the rural regions. The different types of designs and progressive developments with operating parameters and mechanisms used can be overviewed from the literature review to obtain out the scope for further developments in human powered oil expeller.
