The volatile components of Citrus aurantium L. flowers were characterized by GC-MS with two different extraction techniques, hydrodistillation (HD) and ultrasonic-assisted headspace solid phase microextraction (UA-HS-SPME). In the SPME method, the volatile components of the samples, irradiated by ultrasonic radiation, were collected on a polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) commercial fiber as...

This study investigates the oil extraction from Pistacia Khinjuk by the application of enzyme.Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) were applied formodeling and prediction of oil extraction yield. 16 data points were collected and the ANN was trained with onehidden layer using various numbers of neurons. A two-layered ANN provides the best results, us...

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is an innovative, clean and environmental friendly technology with particular interest for the extraction of essential oil from plants and herbs. Supercritical CO(2) is selective, there is no associated waste treatment of a toxic solvent, and extraction times are moderate. Further, supercritical extracts were often recognized of superior quality when compare...

The oil in mackerel viscera was extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO2) at a semi-batch flow extraction process and the fatty acids composition in the oil was identified. Also the off-flavors removal in mackerel viscera and the storage improvement of the oils were carried out. As results obtained, by increasing pressure and temperature, quantity was increased. The maximum yield of oils...

Temperature and pressure effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) on the extraction of carotenoids and seed oil from rosehip fruits have been studied. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has shown much potential skills for the isolation of organic compounds from various samples. SFE minimizes sample handling, provides fairly clean extracts, expedites sample preparation and reduces the u...

Our research aimed to optimize the oil extraction process and determine the fatty acids in Brucea javanica (L.) Merr. seeds. The extraction technology was optimized using response surface methodology. A Box-Behnken design was employed to investigate the effects of three independent variables on an ultrasonic-assisted extraction technique, namely, sonication time (X₁: 20-40 min), liquid-solid ra...

208 The natural food colorants, carotenoids, are of great importance to human health. The scientists at Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science, University of Alberta, Canada enhanced the efficiency of SC-CO 2 extraction of carotenoids from carrots, by using canola oil as a continuous cosolvent. The carotenoid content of the starting material was determined by traditional solve...

Extraction and transportation of mineral resources today presents an increasing social problem, leading to environmental damage and the violation of human rights. In addition to economic and social controversies as well as political problems (such as corruption amongst state and local authorities), it caused population displacement on a large scale. The social costs of oil production illustrate...

The removal of model pollutants bromocresol green (BG) and phenol from water is demonstrated via two liquid-liquid extraction methods. Both methods exploit selective interactions established by the pollutant molecule with a surfactant, oil, or alcohol, and are variants of the more general Winsor systems where the phases are in contact along an extremely large interfacial area. In the first meth...

the traditional extraction method was used to evaluate the antioxidant properties of nettle leaves in soybean oil. also the effects of three different solvents (water, 80% methanol and chloroform) on the extraction content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds from nettle leaves were examined. water extract had the highest extraction yield, and chloroform extract had the highest extraction conten...
