Vegetable oils can be extracted from crushed seeds with liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide. The yields obtained depend upon the pressure and the temperature employed during extraction as well as the size and shape of the seed particles. Oil fractions differing in color, taste, and odor can be recovered at various pressures and temperatures. Parameters influencing the extraction and fractionation of soybean, sunflower seed, and rapeseed oils are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
