  • How to recover oil from macadamia kernels?
  • Macadamia kernels contain high oil content (> 60%) and one of the commonly used techniques to recover oil from its kernel is cold pressing. Cold pressed macadamia oil is composed mostly of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), with oleic and palmitoleic acids as the main fatty acids.
  • How is macadamia oil made?
  • Preprocessing of macadamia nut Macadamia oil is extracted from the kernel of the mature macadamia nut. The initial step in macadamia oil production involves the removal of the outer husk of macadamia nut using a de-husking machine and getting the shell.
  • Does macadamia oil fatty acid contain palmitoleic acid?
  • Macadamia oil fatty acid composition determined by GC is provided in Table 2.11 and was found to contain 19% palmitoleic acid. The macadamia nut fatty acid methyl esters were fractionally distilled at 133¡ãC under high vacuum (<1 Torr) twice, and the methyl ester composition was characterized by GC.
