  • How to extract flaxseed oil?
  • There are many methods used for extracting flaxseed oil, such as solvent extraction using hexane, hot pressing, cold pressing, and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) [ 4 ]. Hexane is generally used for the extraction of edible oil, but it is flammable and non-biorenewable [ 5 ].
  • How does the demand for flaxseed oil affect the extraction process?
  • The increasing demand for flaxseed oil did not only increase the activity level of flaxseed oil extraction but also increased the amounts of the by-products generated (e.g. flaxseed cake/meal) from the extraction process. Flaxseed oil is extracted by applying pressure on the whole flaxseed, i.e. oil pressing, with or without heating.
  • 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.
  • Can Ultrasound-assisted extraction increase the yield of flaxseed oil?
  • In contrast, ultrasound-assisted extraction is more suitable for large-scale production and has better development and application potential, it could significantly increase the yield of flaxseed oil by 11.5%, and the extraction rate of PUFAs by 68.12% ( Ranveer, Gutte, & Sahoo, 2015; Long et al., 2011 ).
