How do Olaoye and Busari optimize mechanical expression of castor seed oil?
Olaoye and Busari optimized the mechanical expression of castor seed oil using CCRD. The effect of reaction temperature, reaction time, and moisture content on oil yield was evaluated and a maximum yield of 26.5% was obtained at moisture content, heating temperature, and reaction time of 6.68%, 100 °C, and 15 min, respectively.
What are the methods of oil extraction from oil seeds?
Conclusions Oil extraction methods from oil seeds include conventional methods (solvent and mechanical extraction) and nonconventional or improved techniques (supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound, microwave, and enzyme assisted extraction.
Which methods are used in vegetable oil extraction?
From the preceding analysis, it is observed that recent research on vegetable oil extractions has been focused more on the assisted methods (microwave and ultrasound) and supercritical fluid extraction compared to the conventional solvent and mechanical extraction methods.
Is the oil extraction process reproducible from beauty leaf seed?
Bhuiya et al. studied the oil extraction process from beauty leaf seed of Australian origin and observed that the solvent extraction process was more reproducible, with relative ease of seed preparation and did not require extensive training compared to the mechanical extraction method.
