  • Can ethanol extract oil from sunflower collets?
  • Ethanol extracts less crystallizable waxes and more tocopherols and phospholipids. Ethanol showed great ability of extracting sugar, mainly raffinose and sucrose. The ethanolic extraction of oil from sunflower collets was studied and compared with previous data where hexane was used as extraction solvent.
  • Can ethanol extract tocopherols from sunflower oil?
  • The previous year, Baümler et al. (2016) already investigated the differences in the recovery of tocopherols from sunflower oil after extraction with hexane and ethanol at two different temperatures (i.e. 50 and 60 ºC) and showed a higher recovery of tocopherols when extracting the oil at 60 • C.
  • How to extract sunflower oil?
  • An ordinary method in extracting sunflower oil includes preparation of seed and mechanical extraction . Since no type of solvent and no other processing are involved in the production of cold-pressed oil, rather than filtering and pressing, it is more important for the market. ...
  • What is the industrial process of extracting sunflower oil?
  • In recent decades, the industrial process of extracting oil has not been modified considerably; however, several practical improvements in optimization and better control have been noticed . An ordinary method in extracting sunflower oil includes preparation of seed and mechanical extraction .
  • Can ethanol be used as an alternative solvent to hexane?
  • From the point of view of the quality of the obtained products, this work demonstrated the feasibility of using ethanol as an alternative solvent to hexane in the oil extraction from sunflower collets. Dear Author, Please, note that changes made to the HTML content will be added to the article before publication, but are not reflected in this PDF.
  • Can ethanol extract lipids from sunflower seeds?
  • Finally, biodiesel layer was washed with excess hot water to remove unreacted components, dried, and collected the biodiesel (Baümler et al. 2016 ). ... ... Baümler et al. reported that the capacity of ethanol to extract lipids from sunflower seeds was comparable with that of nonpolar n-hexane.
