  • Which method is used to extract flaxseed oil?
  • Various techniques were used to extract flaxseed oil, where the quantity and quality of flaxseed oil were measured. Solvent extraction gave the highest oil yield. Oil extracted by SCE showed the best quality in terms of unsaturation and antioxidant activity.
  • Does supercritical CO2 extract flaxseed oil?
  • Some researchers found that the flaxseed oil extracted by supercritical CO 2 had higher content of ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids, phenols and lignans (Khattab et al., 2013), and the yield was about 27% higher than mechanical pressing (Pilat and Zadernowski, 2010, Pradhan et al., 2010).
  • Which extraction method gives the highest yield of oil from flaxseed?
  • Solvent extraction gave the highest oil yield. Oil extracted by SCE showed the best quality in terms of unsaturation and antioxidant activity. Enzymatic pre-treated TPP is a promising approach for extraction of oil from flaxseed as it simultaneously separates protein and oil.
  • Can Ultrasound-assisted extraction increase the yield of flaxseed oil?
  • In contrast, ultrasound-assisted extraction is more suitable for large-scale production and has better development and application potential, it could significantly increase the yield of flaxseed oil by 11.5%, and the extraction rate of PUFAs by 68.12% (Ranveer, Gutte, & Sahoo, 2015; Long et al., 2011).
  • Does flaxseed oil have low oxidative stability?
  • Low oxidative stability of flaxseed oil necessitates the use of extraction technologies that are advanced and economically viable than the currently used cold press extraction.
  • How was flaxseed slurry subjected to ultrasound pre-treatment?
  • Flaxseed slurry was subjected to ultrasound pre-treatment using a probe sonicator (ultrasonic horn with single frequency of 22 kHz, maximum input power of 120 W and probe diameter 1.2 cm; M/s Dakshin Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India). Twenty millilitres of flaxseed slurry (5% w / v) was subjected to ultrasound pre-treatment in a 100-mL beaker.
