  • What is the average oil yield of n hexane?
  • The highest average oil yield of 82.7% (±3.03) was obtained from Chemical Extraction Method using n-hexane as solvent, Mechanical Extraction Method gave 72.9% (± 1.49) while the lowest oil yield of 61.3% (± 2.73) was obtained from Traditional Extraction Method.
  • Can coconut oil SFE be used as a solvent?
  • In order to decide the feasibility of coconut oils SFE with CO 2 as solvent it is necessary to compare with optimized traditional oils extraction process with hexane (or similar organic solvents). Optimized traditional oils extraction must considerate multistage solid-liquid extraction, solvent evaporation and solvent condensation.
  • Does n-hexane extract lipids from coconut oil?
  • Notably, the yield of total lipids extracted from coconut in this study (56.35 % to 65.66 %) was higher than that of a previous study in which n-hexane was used as an extraction solvent to extract coconut oil (30.23 %) ( Aytaç, 2022 ).
  • Which solvent is used to extract coconut oil?
  • Two classical and three green solvents were used to extract coconut oil. Fatty acid compositions were not affected by the types of solvents. Different extraction solvents significantly affected lipid molecule profiles. Cyclopentyl methyl ether showed better selectivity for lipids and phytosterols.
