  • Can enzyme technology be used for oil extraction in oilseed industry?
  • Enzyme technology has great potential for oil extraction in oilseed industry. Similarly, green solvents such as terpenes and ionic liquids have tremen-dous solvent properties that enable to extract the oil in eco-friendly manner.
  • Which is better solution for oil extraction from oilseeds?
  • In this review, green solvents and technology like aqueous assisted enzyme extraction are better solution for oil extraction from oilseeds. Enzyme mediated extraction is eco-friendly, can obtain higher yields, cost-efective and aids in obtaining co-products without any damage.
  • Can green technology be used for oil extraction from oilseeds?
  • Adoption of green technology and solvents is the need of an hour, as these are promising approaches for oil extraction towards environmental safety. However, further research findings should substantiate the viability of these approaches for the oil extraction from oilseeds.
  • What is enzymatic extraction of oil from different oilseeds?
  • Studies reveal an enzyme to substrate ratio of 1% to 8%, the temperature of 40 to 55 ?C, and a pH of 4 to 8 to be typical for enzymatic extraction of oil from different oilseeds. Microwave-assisted extraction has proven to impart significant effects on mass transfer and offers high throughput and extraction efficiency.
