  • Can pomegranate seed oil be used in food industry?
  • Considering the copious potentialities of PSO, the applications of pomegranate seed oil (PSO) in the food industry are reviewed comprehensively and the critical aspects regarding the production, usage, characterization, and safety of PSO have also been discussed. 2. Extraction of pomegranate seed oil
  • How pomegranate seed oil is extracted?
  • Extraction of pomegranate seed oil The extraction method is an important step in obtaining seed oils both efficiently and effectively in terms of yield and quality. The conventional extraction methods for producing edible oils include soxhlet or solvent extraction, distillation, cold pressing, hot pressing, maceration, etc.
  • Should pomegranate seeds be blanched before solvent extraction?
  • Kaseke, Opara, and Fawole (2020) reported that blanching pomegranate seeds before solvent extraction at 90 °C for 3 min could induce structure modification in parenchymal cells and also improve the oil yield by 35% along with other functional properties.
  • How can pomegranate seed utilization be applied on an industrial scale?
  • Likewise, Kalamara et al. (2014) put forward an integrated and innovative approach for pomegranate seed utilization to be applied on an industrial scale. The PSO was extracted using ultrasound-assisted technique followed by its formulation into microcapsules using spray drying.
  • Is pomegranate seed oil a waste?
  • Pomegranate seed oil is a waste, however, it has a wide range of uses, such as food ingredients, lubricants, fuels, and additives for paint formulations ( Costantini et al., 2014 ). In recent years, applications extended to nutritional, pharmaceutical, and food purposes ( Paul & Radhakrishnan, 2020 ).
  • What is pomegranate seed oil?
  • The studies on Pomegranate Seed Oil (PSO) can be directed long back to the 1950s (Ahlers & McTaggart, 1954), but it has been scrutinized as a specialty oil for food applications recently. PSO is a yellow colored oil with a slight odor. It has been acknowledged as biodiesel, lubricant, or an additive in paint formulations (Costantini et al., 2014).
