ABSTRACT: Aqueous enzymatic extraction of oil from pistacia khinjuk was performed using cellulase. The central composite design was used to optimize the parameters that are significant to the process. The influence of three regressors on the percentage of oil recovery from seed was evaluated using second-order polynomial multiple regression model. Analysis of variance showed a high coefficient ...

Continuous increase in oil pricing is not only causing difficulties to consumer but the imbalance in demand and supply is impacting the producer and refineries also. Consumer may adjust the demand dynamically as per the price fluctuation but oil major cannot change the production so dynamically. The recommended solution is the latest technology which could optimize the production, meeting the i...

There is a need to develop more intelligent means for handling text in applications such as information retrieval, information filtering, and message classification. This raises the need for mechanisms for ascertaining what an item of text is about. Even though natural language processing offers the best results, it is not always viable. A less accurate, but more viable alternative, is to reaso...

Olive oil production sector plays an Portuguese economy. It had a major growth ove increasing its weight in the overall national exp market penetration for Mediterranean traditio increasingly more demanding, especially in the N markets, where consumers are looking for more su Trying to support this growing demand this study production under the environmental and eco-effici The analysis consider...

Studies have shown that volatile emissions of chemicals may result in various disorders in our body. The main aim of this study was to determine the effects of oil paint vapor on red blood cells, HCT and Hb in male rats. In this experimental laboratory study, male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control and exposed to oil paint vapor for 1h/day and 8h/day. After 10 weeks blood samples we...

Biodiesel is a fatty acid alkyl ester which is renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel which can be derived from any vegetable oil and animal fats. Vegetable oils and animal fats in their raw form have high viscosity that makes them unsuitable as fuels for diesel engines. Transesterification is one of the well-known process by which fats and oils are converted into biodiesel. The reaction o...

In this paper, the average heat transfer characteristics for a cross flow cylinder of 16 mm diameter in a vertical pipe has been studied for single-phase flow (water/oil) and multicomponent (non-boiling) flow (water-air, water-oil, oil-air and water-oil-air). The cylinder is uniformly heated by electrical heater placed at the centre of the element. The results show that the values of average he...

ABSTRACT: Olives belong to the family of olea europaea L. is a popular fruit tree. The fruit and the oil extracted from it is consumed worldwide particularly in the Mediterranean regions. In this study changes in the fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from olive fruit during the course of maturation is investigated. This work is concerned with the best harvesting point when oleic acid ...
