Can ultrasonic assisted extraction extract seed oils for multifaceted food applications?
The application of ultrasonic assisted extraction to extract seed oils for multifaceted food applications is discussed in this study. Seed oils, which are notable sources of health-promoting characteristics and reservoirs of fatty acids and phytochemicals, are being targeted for effective extraction.
What is ultrasound aided oil extraction?
Ultrasound assisted oil extraction extracts oil from vegetables, oilseeds, and nuts by using a suitable carrier. The key parameters influencing ultrasound aided extraction of oilseed include particle shape and size, moisture content of seed, amount of solvent, and extraction time/temperature.
Can ultrasound aided extraction increase oil extraction rate from oil seeds?
This technique consumes less energy and requires less maintenance. It is quite efficient and reliable. On this basis, ultrasound aided extraction may be utilized commercially to increase oil extraction rate from oil seeds.
What is ultrasonic assisted oil extraction?
Conventional techniques of oil extraction, including mechanical pressing and rendering, have limitations such as low extraction rate, high energy consumption, and low yield. In this context, ultrasonic assisted extraction is green and fast oil extraction technology with a greater extraction rate and low energy consumption.
