Supercritical fluid extraction of wheat bran oil: Study of extraction yield and oil quality

Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Wheat Bran Oil and Characterization and Formulation of the Extracts

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of wheat bran oil with pure supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at different extraction pressures (25, 40 and 55 MPa) and temperatures (40, 70 and 95 oC) has been studied. Since wheat bran is characterized by having an important content of antioxidant compounds, the content of such compounds in the extracted oil and its antioxidant activity were evaluated....

Genotoxicity of rice bran oil extracted by supercritical CO2 extraction.

Rice bran oil extracted by supercritical CO2 extraction (RB-SCE) reportedly exhibits pharmacological activities such as antioxidant and in vivo hair growth-inducing effects. Such activities raise the possibility of the development of novel hair growth-inducing agents using RB-SCE. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential genotoxic effects of RB-SCE in three short-term mutagenicity...

Vetiver Oil Extraction Optimization Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid

Extraction of oil from wheat germ by supercritical CO2.

This study examined the supercritical fluid extraction of wheat germ oil. The effects of pressure (200-300 bar at 40 degrees C) and extraction time on the oil quality/quantity were studied. A comparison was also made between the relative qualities of material obtained by SFE and by organic solvent extraction. The extracts were analyzed for alpha-tocopherol and polyunsaturated fatty acid content...

Rice Bran Oil Extraction with Supercritical Fluid (sfe) to Obtain Enriched Tocopherols and Tocotrienols Fractions

Parboiled rice bran oil was obtained using supercritical CO2 under different conditions of temperature (2°C to 40°C) and pressure (25 to 200 bar). In this study the experiments were carried out with two separators coupled to the extractor. The temperature levels in the first separator were 25°C and 40°C and in the second it was maintained constant at 2°C. The pressures in the first separator we...
