  • What are the methods of oil extraction from oil seeds?
  • Conclusions Oil extraction methods from oil seeds include conventional methods (solvent and mechanical extraction) and nonconventional or improved techniques (supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound, microwave, and enzyme assisted extraction.
  • Can oil be extracted from oilseeds?
  • As far as the extraction of oil from oilseeds is concerned, there has not been so much research carried out with regard to economic and technical viability and for the promising potential on a practical scale; a lot more research is needed for substantiating the feasibility of oil extraction techniques. 6.3. Conventional oil extraction
  • How to extract oil from oilseeds and oleaginous microbes?
  • To harness the potential of oils/fats from oilseeds and OM, development of efficient oil extraction techniques is quintessential. Oil extraction from oilseeds has been carried out widely using solvent extraction, where hexane is used; whereas in oleaginous microbes, widely used solvents are chloroform:methanol.
  • How to optimize oil extraction method and solvent for different crop oilseeds?
  • To optimize the efficient oil extraction method and solvent pertinent to different crop oilseeds and OM, a basic understanding on structure of oilseeds is required. Table 12.1. Oil content and specific energy density of varied oilseeds. Oilseeds comprises of three basic units such as seed coat, embryo and one or more food structures.
