  • How is peanut oil extracted?
  • In the next step, the kernels are fed into oil expeller. The steam is also fed through the expeller to maintain the temperature for oil extraction. The oil expeller crushes the peanut seeds to extract oil. The oil extracted is collected in the containers.
  • What is steam distillation method?
  • In these, steam distillation method is known for recovery of high-boiling-point vola-tile oils from complex and inert components, solid or liquid, using superheated or saturated steam for separation .
  • Which method is most suitable for steam distillation with solvent extraction?
  • According to the authors, microwave- assisted steam distillation with solvent extraction (MSDE) method was most suitable in comparison to steam distillation (SD), conventional hydrodistillation (HD), and microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MHD).
  • What are the different types of essential oil extraction methods?
  • The latter can be of three types: peltate, capitate or digitiform trichomes (Asbahani et al., 2015). There exist multiple essential oil extraction techniques for aromatic plants (Stashenko, 2009). The most employed ones are hydro-distillation, steam distillation and steam-water distillation.
  • What are the disadvantages of steam distillation & hydrodistillation?
  • One drawback of steam-distillation and hydrodistillation methods is the thermolability of the essential oil constituents, which undergo chemical degradation due to the high applied temperatures (Arranz et al., 2015). Several models that explain the kinetics of essential oil extraction by steam distillation have been proposed in literature.
  • What is phenomenological dynamic model of oil extraction?
  • A phenomenological dynamic model of the oil extraction process is adopted from literature and a multi-objective optimal control problem is formulated, in order to minimize energy consumption and at the same time maximize the yield of extraction. The resulting optimal control problem is highly non-linear and it is solved by numerical methods.
