  • Which model represents the tea Camellia sinensis (L) seed oil extraction well?
  • Conclusions The model of broken and intact cells represented the tea Camellia sinensis (L) seed oil extraction well.
  • Which extraction process is best for tea seed oil extraction?
  • The optimal and faster extraction process was achieved at 300 bar and 40 °C, which showed the highest tea seed oil solubility (y s = 5.78·10 −3 kg oil /kg CO2 ), and short CER (q m = 20.2 kg CO2 /kg insoluble solid) and FER period (q n = 153.5 kg CO2 /kg insoluble solid ).
  • Is Muae an efficient method for extracting TSO from tea seed?
  • Moreover, SEM results illustrated that the structure destruction of tea seed brought about by combining microwave and ultrasonic was the primary driving force for fast extraction. Therefore, MUAE was an efficient method for extracting TSO. 1. Introduction
  • Can microwave/ultrasonic assisted extraction improve the utilization of tea seed?
  • In order to improve the utilization of tea seed, microwave/ultrasonic assisted extraction (MUAE) was firstly applied for the extraction of tea seed oil (TSO). The factors with significant effects on oil yield were screened by Plackett-Burman design and then optimized by Box-Behnken design.
  • What is the best mathematical model for vegetable oil extraction?
  • Amongst them, the broken and intact cell model (BIC), based on differential mass balance, proposed by Sovová , and Sovová and Stateva is considered one of the best mathematical models describing the extraction of vegetable oils.
  • Is tea seed oil a healthy vegetable oil?
  • The tea seed oil (TSO) is recommended as a healthy vegetable oil by Food and Drug Administration (FAO) because of its high content (80%) of unsaturated fatty acids, oleic and linoleic, polyphenols, tocopherols, phytosterols, and β-carotene , . The TSO extraction is usually carried out by mechanical pressing and organic solvent extraction.
