  • Does enzyme assisted oil extraction improve process economics?
  • This review covers technological aspects of enzyme assisted oil extraction, and explores the quality characteristics of the oils obtained, focussing particularly on recent efforts undertaken to improve process economics by recovering and re-using enzymes.
  • What happens when oil is extracted into an aqueous enzymatic phase?
  • When oil is extracted into an aqueous enzymatic phase, it inevitably forms an emulsion, which is often difficult to separate because of the added stability imparted by the interfacially active cellular components which are also extracted in the same process.
  • Does aqueous enzymatic extraction increase oil yield?
  • All aqueous enzymatic extractions resulted in higher oil yields than aqueous extractions, and all solvent treatments resulted in higher oil yields than aqueous enzymatic extractions. Total oil as in the skim and cream emulsion. Average oil yield enhancements from three olive species with the use of enzymes at high concentrations.
  • What happens if enzymes are not used in oil extraction?
  • When enzymes are not employed, the process is termed as aqueous extraction which invariably results in lower oil yield. The use of enzymes allows separation of targeted extracted components with unchanged properties which can potentially influence, favourably, the final product in terms of taste and smell.
  • Which proteases improve peanut oil yield?
  • In a different study conducted by Jiang, Hua, Wang, and Xu (2010), five different proteases were tested to improve peanut oil yield, and the highest oil yield was obtained when Alcalase was used (73.45%), followed by As1398 (66.36%), Nutrase (60.08%), Protizyme (55.02%), and Protamex (48.89%).
  • How does enzyme pre-treatment enhance oil yield?
  • The oil yield enhancement is due to the hydrolytic action of the enzymes on the cell wall and membrane components which facilitate subsequent oil release. Table 3. Enhancement in oil yield due to presence of enzyme pre-treatment prior to the extraction method, as compared to the extraction method alone.
