  • How to extract oil from chia seeds?
  • Guindani et al. [ 39] investigated the oil extraction from chia seeds using SC-CO 2 and ethyl acetate as co-solvents. The highest extraction yield, 10.6%, with pure CO 2 was obtained at 30 MPa and 50 °C. Supercritical extractions using CO 2 are common for the extraction of Chia oil.
  • Can chia seed mucilage be used in nanoencapsulation?
  • Chia seed mucilage represents a promising alternative to synthetic polymers in nanoencapsulation. Different extraction methods and solvents such as Soxhlet extraction using n -hexane, ethyl acetate, and aqueous ethanol, supercritical fluid extraction with CO 2 and pressured-liquid extraction have been proposed to obtain the oil.
  • How to extract chia oil using a cold solvent?
  • Extraction of the chia oil using a cold solvent was performed according to Timilsena et al. (2017). The ground chia seed was mixed with n -hexane in a ratio of 1:10 (chia seed: solvent). To intensify the cold extraction yield, pretreatment of the sample was performed for 15, 30 and 60?min in an ultrasonic bath.
  • What is chia oil?
  • Today, chia has been analyzed in different areas of research. Researches around the world have been investigating the benefits of chia seeds in the medicinal, pharmaceutical, and food industry. Chia oil is today one of the most valuable oils on the market. Different extraction methods have been used to produce the oil.
