  • How is the oil extraction of Forsythia suspense seeds improved?
  • The oil extraction of Forsythia suspense seeds was improved using a cocktail of cellulase, pectinase, and proteinase. This resulted in an increase from 7% to 17% for AEP, attributed to more components within the seed cell walls being degraded.
  • What are the different methods of oil extraction of walnuts?
  • Market development efforts have intensified; as a result, walnuts are being used more in snacking, baking, and processed foods. The common methods of oil extraction may include the chemical (using a solvent) and mechanical extraction of oil from oilseeds [ 13 ]. The two categories of mechanical techniques are hot press and cold press.
  • How can peanut seed extract be destabilized?
  • Peanut seed extract can be destabilized using alkaline protease, achieving a 65% free oil yield. This is a significant increase compared to the control, which had less than a 5% free oil yield.
  • What are the oil extraction yields for camelina seeds?
  • For camelina seeds, the oil extraction yield ranged from 9¨C16% for both hexane and ethyl acetate solvents. Similar oil extraction yields were obtained during the extraction of canola seeds with hexane (21¨C36%) and ethyl acetate (25 to 40%).
  • How to improve oil extraction from seeds?
  • One method to improve oil extraction from seeds is to perform extrusion. This process involves modifying the shape and properties of the seeds using screw configuration, which can also be used in applications like expanded snacks or obtaining liquid extracts from plant material.
  • How does the extraction process affect the quality of walnut oil?
  • The method used for extraction has a significant impact on the quantity and quality of lipids and other important components. It is critical to select a suitable extraction process for the compounds of interest. Scaling walnut oil into commercial production requires proper extraction technologies.
