  • flaxseed oil production line for solvent extraction design
  • How is flaxseed oil extracted?
  • This work compares the yield and quality of the flaxseed oil obtained by individually optimized supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCE), three-phase partitioning (TPP), solvent extraction and the reported values of cold press extraction.
  • Which extraction method gives the highest yield of oil from flaxseed?
  • Solvent extraction gave the highest oil yield. Oil extracted by SCE showed the best quality in terms of unsaturation and antioxidant activity. Enzymatic pre-treated TPP is a promising approach for extraction of oil from flaxseed as it simultaneously separates protein and oil.
  • Does flaxseed oil have low oxidative stability?
  • Low oxidative stability of flaxseed oil necessitates the use of extraction technologies that are advanced and economically viable than the currently used cold press extraction.
  • Is flaxseed a linolenic acid?
  • Flaxseed ( Linum usitatissimum L.) is a commercial oilseed that produces triglyceride oil that is a rich source of linolenic acid. Many Linum species are related to flaxseed but only L. usitatissimum L. is grown for commercial production of oil.
