Answer to Question 1

degumming
refining
centrifuging
bleaching
winterization (fractionation)
hydrogenation
deodorization
interesterification

Answer to Question 2

The oil is removed from the plant source by mechanical presses and expellers that squeeze the oil from oilseeds.
Another method is the solvent extraction method. A nontoxic fat solvent such as hexane is percolated through the cracked seeds. The oil is then distilled from the solvent, and the solvent is reused.
