  • What is a continuous industrial-scale plant for pre-treatment of oilseeds with microwaves?
  • An example of a continuous industrial-scale plant for the pre-treatment of oilseeds with microwaves was proposed by Koubaa et al. . In such a plant, the seeds are transported by a screw conveyor along horizontal pipes coupled with MW horns, into which steam is injected (Figure 4).
  • Are gas-based solvent-assisted mechanical extraction a good choice for industrial applications?
  • Since extraction remains the most critical step because of its impact on oil quality and quantity, new methods of gas- and solvent-assisted mechanical extraction have been proposed. The wide availability and low cost of petroleum-based solvents made them the best candidate for any industrial application.
  • Is methyloxolane a suitable solvent for vegetable oil extraction?
  • Methyloxolane (EcoXtract ®) was added to the list of permitted solvents for food and feed production in Europe on 26 January 2023 (Directive 2009/32/EC) [74, 75]. The main studies on the extraction of vegetable oils with 2-MeOx are listed in Table 5. Table 5. Vegetable oils’ extraction with 2-MeOx.
  • Can ultrasound improve the quality of oil extraction from plant matrices?
  • Recently, Koubaa et al. (2016) described the use of new technologies such as ultrasound (US) and MW to improve the yield and quality of oil extraction from oil crops. In the extraction of plant matrices, a partially damaged cell wall significantly improves the accessibility of the oil for extraction.
