Abstract:Oil extraction from the fat body of bullfrog (FBB) using supercritical carbon dioxide through supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and mechanical pressing (ME) was assessed. ME extraction was performed within a temperature range from 40 to 90 C and the SFE at 40 C and 15 MPa. The peroxide index (PI) and oxidative induction time (OIT) of the oil obtained from the ME were negatively influenced by the increase in the extraction temperature; however, the FBB oil extracted at 40 C presented a high quality with acid… Show more
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.
