  • Why is tannase used in palm oil extraction?
  • The use of tannase led to an increase in total phenolic compounds in the lipophilic and hydrophilic fractions, resulting in and a higher antioxidant capacity of the oil. This process is an environmentally friendly means for high quality palm oil extraction.
  • What is the phenolic content of EAAE extracted VPO?
  • The carotenoid content in the EAAE extracted VPO obtained is between 35 and 40 mg/100 g sample. The carotenoids and the total phenolic content between the EAAE and non EAAE extracted oil are not significantly different, however, the antioxidant activity of EAAE extracted oil is significantly higher at 21% than the non-enzyme treated oil.
  • Does tannase increase the concentration of antioxidant compounds in oil?
  • All results presented as mean ± standard deviation. Enzymatic treatment during the oil extraction process probably increased the concentration, or the availability, of the antioxidant compounds in the whole oil, the hydrophilic fraction and the lipophilic fraction, when tannase was used as the only enzyme in the process.
  • Does tannase improve phenolic compounds extraction?
  • Tannase improved the phenolic compounds extraction by 51% and pectinase plus cellulase improved carotene extraction by 153%. Samples treated with tannase showed a 27% and 53% higher antioxidant capacity for the lipophilic and hydrophilic fractions.
  • Does low-heat enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction produce VPO?
  • The objective of the study was to measure the oil recovery and phytonutrients content of VPO produced by the low-heat enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction (EAAE) method and to compare with the non-enzyme treated mesocarp. Pectinase from Aspergillus niger was used as the enzyme treatment in the EAAE method.
  • How efficient is oil extraction?
  • Greater than 90% oil extraction efficiency has been achieved for various vegetable oils (e.g., canola, soybean, peanut and coconut oils) with this approach (Lamsal and Johnson, 2007, Rosenthal et al., 1996) and the enzymatic extraction of olive oil has been reported (Aliakbarian et al., 2008, Hadj-Taieb et al., 2012, Najafian et al., 2009).
