Selected AbstractsSupercritical fluid extraction of walnut kernel oilEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIPID SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 7 2006Sema Salg Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the main process parameters on supercritical fluid extraction of walnut (Juglans regia,L.) kernel oil. The recovery of walnut kernel oil was performed in a green and high-tech separation process. CO2 and CO2 +,ethanol mixtures were used as the supercritical solvent. The extraction was carried out at operating pressures of 30, 40 and 50,MPa, operating temperatures of 313, 323 and 333,K, mean particle sizes of 1.78×10,4, 3.03×10,4, 4.78×10,4, 7.00×10,4 and 9.00×10,4,m, supercritical CO2 (SC CO2) flow rates of 1.67×10,8, 3.33×10,8, 6.67×10,8 and 13.33×10,8,m3/s and entrainer (ethanol) concentrations of 2, 4, 8 and 12,vol-%. Maximum extraction yield and oil solubility in SC CO2 obtained at 50,MPa, 333,K, 9.00×10,4,m, 3.33×10,4,m3/h were 0.65,kg oil/kg of dry sample and 37.16,g oil/kg CO2, respectively. The results obtained in this study showed that the crossover pressure effect of walnut kernel oil was at 30,MPa. At 30,MPa and 313,K, the obtained extraction yields above 4,vol-% ethanol reached the organic solvent extraction yield of 68.5,kg oil/kg dry sample. Extraction time was decreased significantly because of the higher solubility of walnut kernel oil in SC CO2 +,ethanol mixtures. [source] ANALYSIS OF VARIABLES AND MODELING OF GEVUINA AVELLANA OIL EXTRACTION WITH ETHANOL NEAR AZEOTROPE CONDITIONSJOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING, Issue 5 2009DANIEL FRANCO ABSTRACT Oil extraction from Gevuina avellana Mol. (Chilean hazelnut) with ethanol, near the conditions of its azeotrope with water, was carried out in this work. The effects of solubility, liquid-to-solid ratio and moisture content of ethanol were studied using 92% ethanol, azeotropic (96%) and absolute ethanol (99.9%) as solvents. Water content had a high effect on oil solubility, which reached 140 g/L in 99.9% ethanol, whereas it was 40 g/L with azeotropic ethanol. Oil accounted for 93% of total extractable compounds with absolute ethanol. Kinetics studies of the extraction process were performed at 50C, giving as a result apparent diffusivity values near 10,11 m2/s, being the highest values obtained for ethanol 92% (7.5,16 × 10,11). It was also found that the higher the liquid-to-solid ratio, the higher the diffusivity. Simulation of four-stage countercurrent extraction with azeotropic ethanol yielded 23.5% oil extraction, whereas simulation of four-stage cross-flow extraction yielded 40.7%. Ethanol can be an alternative to batch cold pressing or hexane solvent extraction, for G. savellana seeds or meal processing. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The results presented in this paper are applicable for obtaining oil from oilseeds by extraction with ethanol. It includes relevant results for the optimization of extraction conditions and particularly those regarding liquid-to-solid ratio and percentage of water. Considering the more specific focus of this research, the results are applicable to obtaining Gevuina avellana oil by using an ethanol-based process, which will allow to avoid one of the cold-pressing process drawbacks: the high oil content of the meal, which is a factor limiting its lifetime. [source] Extraction of Poppy Seed Oil Using Supercritical CO2JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, Issue 2 2003B. Bozan ABSTRACT: Extraction of poppy seed oil with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was performed and the effect of extraction conditions on oil solubility and yield as well as oil composition was evaluated. Within the temperature (50 to 70 °C) and pressure (21 to 55 MPa) ranges studied, 55 MPa/70 °C gave the highest oil solubility (24.1 mg oil/g CO2) and oil yield (38.7 g oil/100g seed). Fatty acid composition of the oil obtained with SC-CO2 at 55 MPa/70 °C was similar to that of petroleum ether-extracted oil (p > 0.05) with linoleic acid making up 69.0 to 73.7% of fatty acids. Tocol content of the SC-CO2 -extracted oils varied from 22.37 to 33.35 mg/100 g oil, which was higher than that of petroleum ether-extracted oil (15.28 mg/100 g oil). Poppy seed oil may have potential in the rapidly growing specialty oil market. [source] | ||||||||||
