  • 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).
  • Which extraction method produces the highest oil yield?
  • For wood sources, such as oil extraction from andalwood, subcritical CO 2 extraction produced the highest oil yield (3.83 g/L), followed by solvent extraction, hydrodistillation, and steam distillation.
  • 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.
  • Which extraction method is best for essential oils?
  • In conclusion, while each extraction method possesses distinct advantages, SFE is identified as the most effective technique for maximization of both yield and quality of essential oils, particularly for thermolabile compounds, rendering it highly suitable for various industrial applications.
  • What is the difference between Mae & traditional extraction methods?
  • Traditional extraction techniques, which include heating and stirring for a long time in boiling water, are replaced by MAE, which significantly shortens the extraction time with increased essential oil yields.
  • What is supercritical fluid extraction?
  • Supercritical fluid extraction is an efficient extraction technique for temperature-sensitive compounds that utilizes supercritical fluids under high pressure and temperature. SFE extracts essential oils resulting in high purity, and solvent-free extracts.
