Ultrasonic assisted extraction of oil from castor seeds
The greatest oil yield of 70.93% was acquired under the ideal conditions of solvent volume 16 ml, the mass of seed 1 g, the temperature at 50 C and extraction time of 9 min under
The industrial process of solvent extraction of castor oil
From the seed of castor (Ricinus communis L.), a hydroxylated oil is extracted to be used as raw material for an extensive list of products in the chemical industry. The industrial process for castor oil extraction produces the oil, as the main product, and generates large quantity of castor meal as a protein-rich by-product.
(PDF) Solvent Extraction of Castor Beans Oil
Optimization of percentage of oil yield extracted from castor seed was carried out using response surface methodology and Box-Behnken design. Castor oil
Effect of pre-treatment on solvents extraction and physico
Extraction of castor oil from castor seed was carried out by Soxhlet method using polar and non-polar commercial solvents at the optimum conditions obtained from the preliminary oil extraction study. The solvents used were hexane, pentane, petroleum ether, cyclohexane, ethylacetate, methanol, and isopropanol.
Castor Oil: Properties, Uses, and Optimization
Castor oil seed contains about 30%–50% oil (m/m). 74, 75 Castor oil can be extracted from castor beans by either mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a
A Biorefinery Approach to Biodiesel Production from Castor Plants
Castor oil extraction can be performed with mechanical methods, solvents, and with combined methods. The first method includes high-performance industrial presses [ 4, 9 ]. In the second method, solvents allow the recovery of between 90 and 99% of oil. However, the use of solvents may be toxic [ 2, 14 ].
Improved method for extraction of castor seed for toxin
The castor plant, Ricinus communis L., produces a seed containing up to 60% oil with as much as 90% ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxy-oleic acid). As a result, castor
Castor Oil: Properties, Uses, and Optimization of Processing
Castor oil seed contains about 30%?0% oil ( m/m ). 74, 75 Castor oil can be extracted from castor beans by either mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a combination of pressing and extraction. 74 After harvesting, the seeds are allowed to dry so that the seed hull will split open, releasing the seed inside.
EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CASTOR
Uzo Agunwa. National Research Institute for Chemical Technology. Castor oil was extracted by mechanical cold pressing (< 45 0 C) of the seeds of wild
A Review of Methods Used for Seed Oil Extraction - IJSR
characterization and modification of castor seed oil, Akpan . et al. (2006) employed the solvent extraction method to extract castor seed oil from castor bean paste using Soxhlet extractor. They obtained 33.2% oil yield, which was within the expected range for castor beans found in literature. They
