  • Is hexane a safe solvent?
  • Hexane is the preferred solvent for edible oil extraction, with hexane-based processes having been in commercial operation for a long time. However, the main concern of this process has been the safety implications surrounding the use of hexane. Despite this, it is possible to achieve high oil yields and solvent recovery.
  • What are the environmental concerns with organic solvents like hexane?
  • Organic solvents such as hexane, in particular, can contribute to the industrial emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This has revived interest in aqueous extraction processes, which are looked upon as an environmentally cleaner alternative technology for oil extraction.
  • How to extract maize oil from maize germ?
  • extraction. An aqueous enz ymatic method was d eveloped to e xtract maize oil from maize germ (Moreau et al., 2004). No hexane or other organic solvents are used in this process. The basic flow chart of EAAE oil extraction method is presented in Fig. 2. By using oven-dried maize germ samples (6 g) from a commercial maize wet mill, maize oil
  • Can aqueous enzymatic extraction replace n-hexane?
  • Green solvents and technology aim to develop an environment-friendly process with simultaneous reduction of pollutants for oil extraction. Aqueous enzymatic extraction (AEE) coupled with green solvents has huge potential to replace n-hexane without compromising oil recovery from the process.
  • Which solvent is used in EAAE oil extraction method?
  • hexane or other organic solvents are used in this process. The basic flow chart of EAAE oil extraction method is presented in Fig. 2. By using oven-dried maize germ samples (6 g) from a commercial maize wet mill, maize oil yields of about 80% were achieved using commercial cellulase (Karlovic et al., 1994).
  • What is the main concern of using hexane in oil extraction?
  • In the past, the main concern of this process has been the safety implications surrounding the use of hexane. Hexane is the preferred solvent; hexane-based processes have been in commercial operation for a long time. For such processes, it is possible to achieve oil yields in excess of 95% with a solvent recovery of over 95%.
