  • How efficient is oil extraction from rubber seed kernels?
  • Our study revealed that the efficiency of extracting oil and protein from rubber seed kernels varies significantly depending on the pre-treatment and extraction methods. For screw pressing, high operating temperatures increase the release of oil by breaking the cell structure and lowering the oil viscosity.
  • What is rubber seed oil used for?
  • Rubber seed oil also could be used for the paint industry as a semidrying oil, in the manufacture of soap, for the production of linoleum and alkyd resin; in medicine as antimalaria oil; and in engineering as core binder for factice preparation.
  • How to prepare rubber seeds for oil & protein extraction?
  • To prepare the rubber seeds for oil and protein extraction, all seeds were mechanically de-hulled and the kernels were separated. The rubber seed kernels were cut into small pieces to facilitate drying. Kernels were dried at either 60 ℃ for 6 h or at 105 ℃ for 3 h to reduce the water content from 29% to 4?5%.
  • Are rubber seeds oil based?
  • Rubber seeds are also rich in oil; the oil content in dried kernels is 48.78% (Table 1 ), which is high compared to seeds such as flax, sunflower, and rapeseed (Abitogun et al. 2012; Li et al. 2014 ).
