• 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.
  • How can enzyme technology improve oil extraction in oilseed industry?
  • Enzyme technology has great potential for oil extraction in oilseed industry. Similarly, green solvents such as terpenes and ionic liquids have tremendous solvent properties that enable to extract the oil in eco-friendly manner.
  • Which oilseeds are solvent-extracted?
  • The second most prevalent solvent-extracted oilseed is rapeseed and/or the varieties called Canola . Sunflower is also quite high in volume. A much lower volume or secondary use for soybean oil and rapeseed oil, gaining popularity in recent years, is as a feedstock for biodiesel fuels for diesel engines.
  • Which is better solution for oil extraction from oilseeds?
  • In this review, green solvents and technology like aqueous assisted enzyme extraction are better solution for oil extraction from oilseeds. Enzyme mediated extraction is eco-friendly, can obtain higher yields, cost-effective and aids in obtaining co-products without any damage.
  • Can green solvents be used to extract oil from oilseeds?
  • Adoption of green technology and solvents is the need of an hour, as these are promising approaches for oil extraction towards environmental safety. However, further research findings should substantiate the viability of these approaches for the oil extraction from oilseeds. SPJK has conceived the idea and authored paper on green solvents.
  • Which methods are used in vegetable oil extraction?
  • From the preceding analysis, it is observed that recent research on vegetable oil extractions has been focused more on the assisted methods (microwave and ultrasound) and supercritical fluid extraction compared to the conventional solvent and mechanical extraction methods.
