Extraction of Safflower Seed Oil by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction of Borage Seed Oil

The oil from the seeds of Borago officinalis L. (borage) is a major commercial source of ?-linolenic acid. The fatty acid has a great potential therapeutic value in the treatment of several diseases. In the present work the efficiency of high pressure extraction of borage seed oil containing ?linolenic acid in high concentrations was investigated. Extraction was performed by semicontinuous flow...

Vetiver Oil Extraction Optimization Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid

Modeling of the Extraction Process of Tea Seed Oil with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The kinetics of the extraction of tea seed oil with supercritical CO2 was studied. A kinetic model of the extraction of tea seed oil using supercritical CO2 was developed on the basis of the differential mass balance to simulate the extraction process. The model could simulate the distribution of the solute concentration in CO2 inside the extraction bed as a function of extraction time and heig...

Effect of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Condition on Extraction of Carotenoids and Seed Oil from Rosehip Fruits

Temperature and pressure effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) on the extraction of carotenoids and seed oil from rosehip fruits have been studied. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has shown much potential skills for the isolation of organic compounds from various samples. SFE minimizes sample handling, provides fairly clean extracts, expedites sample preparation and reduces the u...

Extraction of Lepidium apetalum seed oil using supercritical carbon dioxide and anti-oxidant activity of the extracted oil.

The supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of Lepidium apetalum seed oil and its anti-oxidant activity were studied. The SFE process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with a central composite design (CCD). Independent variables, namely operating pressure, temperature, time and flow rate were evaluated. The maximum extraction of Lepidium apetalum seed oil by SFE-CO₂ (about 36....
