  • What is peony seeds oil?
  • Peony seeds oil (PSO) was approved as a new resource food and became an edible vegetable oil for its rich content of fatty acids, total unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. In addition, PSO also contains high contents of squalene, tocopherol, phytosterol and plant polyphenol.
  • What are the by-products of peony seeds production?
  • In the process of PSO production, two important by-products, peony seeds shell (PSS) and peony seeds cake (PSC) will be obtained. The total mass of PSS and PSC accounts for more than 70% of the total mass of peony seeds ( Deng et al., 2019 ).
  • What is the oil yield of peony seeds?
  • For shelled peony seed, the oil yield was in the range of 24.22?30.7%, and for non-shelled peony seed, the yield was low. When the peony seeds were pretreated by microwave, the extraction rate of PSO by SFE-CO 2 could reach 98.55%, and only 1.45% of the oil remained in the cake ( Lu, Tan, Hao, & Wu, 2015 ).
  • Why is PSO important for oil peony seed production?
  • As the main by-product in the production of PSO, the weight of PSS and PSC account for more than 30% and 40% of the total weight of peony seed, respectively. And PSO is accepted by more and more consumers for the rich UFAs content and high nutritive value, the planting area of oil peony will increase up to 5 million hectares in next 5-10 years.
