Mustard seeds typically yield about 30% to 40% oil by weight, depending on the specific variety and growing conditions. For example, one ton of mustard seeds can produce approximately 300 to 400 liters of oil. This oil is widely used in cooking and food production, as well as in various industrial applications.
A suitable substitute for mustard oil in cooking is a combination of equal parts vegetable oil and ground mustard seeds. This mixture can provide a similar flavor profile to mustard oil in dishes.

Mustard oil is an edible vegetable oil extracted from mustard seeds (commonly known as sarson in India). It is widely used in Indian cooking, particularly in North and Eastern India, because of its distinctive flavour and aroma. One interesting thing about mustard oil is its natural pungency. To understand where that sharp smell comes from, we need to look at the chemistry of mustard seeds. Mustard seeds contain a natural compound called Sinigrin, along with an enzyme called Myrosinase. When the seeds are crushed and suitable moisture conditions are present, myrosinase acts on sinigrin and produces compounds including Allyl Isothiocyanate (AITC). This compound is responsible for much of the characteristic pungency and sharp aroma associated with mustard. How is mustard oil extracted? Mustard oil can be produced using different methods, including traditional Kachi Ghani, expeller pressing and hydraulic pressing. The extraction method, seed quality and moisture conditions can all influence the oil's aroma and characteristics. At Pure Tatva, we use a controlled hydraulic pressing process under our Zero Heat Press System. We carefully manage seed moisture and do not add water during extraction. Our Virgin Juicy Mustard Oil is designed to have a mild, non-pungent aroma with a fruity fragrance. How is mustard oil used? Mustard oil is commonly used for: Preparing vegetables, curries and traditional Indian dishes. Pickling and food preservation. Adding distinctive flavour to regional recipes. Everyday cooking, depending on the product's food-grade suitability and applicable local regulations. In my opinion, when choosing mustard oil, don't judge its quality only by its colour or pungency. Pay attention to the quality of mustard seeds, extraction method, processing conditions, filtration and proper storage.

Mustard oil and kerosene oil can be separated by distillation. Since they have different boiling points, heating the mixture will cause the kerosene oil to vaporize first, leaving the mustard oil behind. The vapors of kerosene oil can then be condensed back into a liquid form.
A pound of soybeans will yield about 20% of oil by weight, or 3.2 ounces.
