  • Can supercritical carbon dioxide extract sunflower seed for vegetable oil?
  • Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2) extraction of sunflower seed for the production of vegetable oil is investigated and compared to conventional methods. The effects of extracting variables, namely pressure, temperatures, particle size, SC-CO 2 flow rate and co-solvent, on SC-CO 2 extraction are investigated.
  • What is supercritical fluid extraction & fractionation of essential oils?
  • Supercritical fluid extraction and fractionation of essential oils and related products Oxidative reactivity of unsaturated fatty acids from sunflower, high oleic sunflower and rapeseed oil subjected to heat treatment under controlled conditions Extraction of sunflower oil with supercritical CO 2: Experiments and modeling
  • Does reduced quadratic model predict extraction yield of sunflower seed oil?
  • Thus, the cumulative extraction yield predicted by reduced-quadratic model lie within −3.62% to +3.59 of experimental values. Fig. 2. Parity plot for the reduced quadratic model, Eq. (5), developed for the prediction of extraction yield of sunflower seed oil extraction.
  • Does sunflower seed extract linoleic unsaturated fatty acids?
  • The extracted oil is rich in linoleic unsaturated fatty acids. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2) extraction of sunflower seed for the production of vegetable oil is investigated and compared to conventional methods.
  • How does pressure affect the extraction yield of sunflower oil?
  • This is due to the solubility of sunflower oil in supercritical carbon dioxide increases at higher pressures even though mass transfer coefficients decreases with a rise in pressure. Fig. 3.1a, Fig. 3.1b, Fig. 3.1c, Fig. 3.1d, Fig. 3.1e shows that cumulative extraction yield is highly sensitive to pressure as compared to other parameters.
  • What is the maximum yield of sunflower oil?
  • The maximum yield for sunflower oil is found to be about 54.37 wt%, and is obtained when SC-CO 2 extraction is carried out at 80 °C, 400 bar, 0.75 mm particle and 10 g/min solvent flow with 5% co-solvent. A central composite design is used to develop the model and also to predict the optimum conditions.
