  • What solvents are used in oil extraction?
  • Conventional techniques of extracting oil using organic solvents pose health, safety, and environmental concerns. In modern extraction methods, green solvents such as water, ethanol, ethyl acetate, carbon dioxide, ionic liquids, and terpenes are currently gaining prominence.
  • How are volatile compounds extracted?
  • Modern extraction techniques, including pulsed electric field extraction, supercritical CO₂ extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and pressurized liquid extraction, have led to significant improvements in both extraction efficiency and the preservation of volatile compounds.
  • What technologies are used for extraction of essential oil?
  • The major technologies being adopted in recent scenario for the extraction of essential oil are MAE, SFE, PEF, UAE, and Subcritical Extraction. Such techniques have been proved to be efficient for the extraction of essential oil. Therefore, such techniques possess great potential to be adopted by various industries.
  • Are aqueous enzymatic extraction techniques environmentally friendly?
  • These techniques are considered environmentally friendly because they exhibit less hazardous chemical synthesis, use renewable feedstock, and reduce the chemical load and emissions generated by organic solvents. Aqueous enzymatic extraction is a novel technique that uses enzymes as the medium for extraction of oil.
  • What are the different methods of oil extraction?
  • Various alternate methods of oil extraction include soxhlet, cold press, expression, solvent extraction, hydro-distillation, subcritical extraction method, pulsed electric field (PEF), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and Microwave assisted extraction (MAE).
  • What are the optimal extraction conditions in a Box-Behnken design?
  • Time, temperature, and ratio of solvent to seed were the process independent variables that were optimized using a Box-Behnken design. The optimal extraction conditions were found to be 50 °C, 12 mL/g of solvent to seed, and 40 min of extraction time, resulting in an oil yield of 27.24 %.
