• How efficient is hexane for canola oil extraction?
  • The achieved results revealed that the optimized conditions for canola oil extraction (22.39% efficiency) by hexane was 87 min ultrasound treat-ment at 55¡ãC and solvent-to-canola proportion of 6.39 (% v/ w). On the other hand, the optimized conditions for canola oil extraction (30.66% efficiency) by hexaneisopropanol mix-
  • Can Ultrasound-assisted ap-proach improve canola oil extraction efficiency?
  • The aim of the current study was the optimization of canola oil extraction efficiency with the use of ultrasound-assisted ap-proach. The higher oil extraction efficiency of canola seeds, with the use of ultrasound-assisted extraction, could represent
  • Is hexaneisopropanol a good solvent for canola oil extraction?
  • On the other hand, the optimized condition for canola oil extraction with the use of the com-bined hexaneisopropanol as the solvent was detected as fol- lows: 69.5 min ultrasound treatment at 55 ¡ãC and solvent-to-sample proportion of 9.12:1 (% v/w) which led to an oil ex-traction efficiency of 30.66%.
  • Does hexane & isopropanol increase oil extraction efficiency?
  • UAE with hexane and hexane¨Cisopropanol mixture in the optimized conditions increased the extraction efficiency of the oil up to 10 and 15%, respectively, in comparison to the conventional methods.
  • How much oil is extracted from canola seeds?
  • Some 22.39 million tons of oil was extracted from 62.45 million tons of the harvested canola seeds in 2011, which was determined as the second ranked oil source in the world.
  • Does temperature enhancement increase peroxide index of extracted canola oil?
  • The achieved results presented that in a permanent treatment time (60 min) temperature enhancement increased peroxide index of the extracted canola oil. As is clear on contour plot, temperature enhancement of 40 to 50 ¡ãC increased peroxide index of 1.5 to 1.8 peroxide value (meq g O2kg?1).
