I've been eating this fruit since I was a toddler. I'm looking to start processing the Baobab in Gambia/Senegal and would like to learn more about processing, packing, finding buyers, etc.
Hi, I watched your vídeo from Angola and I like the way you share things about baobab.

thank you very much! all 3 videos are very well done. But there is another way to process the fruit. We will start soon here in Maputo, to produce cream in another way. When we consolidate the process in standard and certificate way, I will invite you to see, or I will send you a video

Hello Sir, I am interested in the baobab machine . I am a food processor and also process baobab fruit powder, I use mortar and pestle to pound it. But am really impressed in ur lesson. I am Aji fatou bobb from The Gambia. If I know the price of the machine and where to get it too. I am from The Gambia. Thank you
There isn't an off-the-shelf solution for this, but I'm happy to help if I can! Please contact me on info (at) africanbaobaballiance.org and I will try to assist.
Thank you for the 3 part videos. Great work you do. I'm interested in processing the oil. Please what's the approximate oil yield per kg of baobab seeds? Thank you
Yield is around 4%. 100 kgs of seed will give you 4kgs of oil.
@@AfricanPlantHunter oh wow, that small quantity? That explains why it's so expensive. Thank you for your response
With regards to advise on milling before depositing in the hopper, should one mill right up to a flour consistency or granules/grits?
You will probably find that a flour consistency is a bit too fine, so maybe go for something a little coarser. But I strongly advise you to experiment and find what works best for you!
How can i extract baobab oil in a lab
😮😮😮wow
How do I get this machine
Can the seeds be Roasted before milling??
No, roasting will give the oil a different flavour.
What machine separates the powdery coat from the seed before processing the seed
You need a gentle mechanical process. Don't wash the seeds, as the water will spoil the oil. Any sort of tumble-dryer type machine will do it.
Prix de la machine?
