For thorough and efficient extraction, it is necessary that each andevery oil bearing cell of the material is brought in contact with thesolvent.  Therefore proper preparation ofraw material prior to extraction is very important to ensure this contact.  The smaller the material size the better ispenetration of the Solvent into the oil bearing cells, but too fine a size willprevent the solvent from percolating through the mass.  Hence different methods are adopted fordifferent material depending on oil content, size and physical properties.  However materials can be broadly classifiedin three groups:
