  • Which solvent is used for oil extraction?
  • In the first-round oil extraction experiments, Salmene 3 seed collection was extracted using four different solvents (diethyl ether, ethanol, n-heptane, and n-hexane) and cotton as filter to identify the most efficient solvent for oil extraction in terms of the percentage of oil extracted.
  • Which method of oil extraction is most efficient?
  • In commercial oil extraction, solvent extraction and mechanical pressing are the most commonly used methods , but solvent extraction is more efficient in terms of oil recovery .
  • How is oil extracted from Jatropha seed collections from Ethiopia?
  • The present study focuses on the determination of oil contents of thirteen different jatropha seed collections from Ethiopia. The oil was extracted with a Soxhlet extractor using n-hexane which was selected out of four different solvents: diethyl ether, ethanol, n-heptane, and n-hexane. Cotton and thimble were used as filter for the extractions.
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of oil extraction method?
  • Each oil extraction method has its own advantages and limitations. For instance, extraction of oil from jatropha seeds using n-hexane as solvent results in the largest percentage oil yield compared to mechanical and enzymatic extractions. However, using hexane as extraction solvent has negative environment impacts .
  • Which solvent is used to extract oil from plant seeds?
  • Different solvents can be used to extract oil from plant seeds. Hexane, petroleum ether, diethyl ether, ethanol, n-heptane, isopropanol, acetone, chloroform, methanol, and 1-butanol were some of the most commonly used and reported solvents for oil extraction [17, 20, 21].
  • How does solvent extraction affect the percentage yield of oil?
  • In solvent extraction, the percentage yield of the oil can be affected by the type of solvent used, particle sizes of the meal, extraction temperature, solvent to solid ratio and extraction time [6, 18], and the moisture contents of the solid to be extracted . Different solvents can be used to extract oil from plant seeds.
