• How much oil can be extracted from vegetable oil crops?
  • Table 1. Extraction of vegetable edible oils from oil crops. Maximum oil extraction yield = 55.47%. T = 60¨C65 ¡ãC, Solvent = n-hexane.
  • 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.
  • What is the industrial processing of vegetable oils?
  • The industrial processing of vegetable oils has become increasingly standardized based on national or international standards, and high-capacity production of extraction and refining has been realized .
  • Are edible oils bioavailable?
  • Second, the few cases of edible oils tested in animal and clinical trials limit the study of their action mechanisms and bioavailability. Third, there are few studies on the specificity of extraction and refining methods for oils from different sources.
  • Can edible oil-based nanomaterials be used in industrial applications?
  • Before realizing the industrial application of vegetable oils, the abovementioned problems need to be solved in a timely and effective manner. In addition, the preparation of edible oil-based nanomaterials and their synergy with other active ingredients are a focus of future research.
  • Are seed oils edible?
  • Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Most seed oils are edible while some are used generally as raw material for soap production, chocolate, margarine, and recently in biodiesel formulations as potential candidates capable of replacing fossil fuels which are costly and destructive to the environment.
