Seed oils are of increasing interest to research and industry because they are a renewable, relatively inexpensive resource, they have valuable mechanical and chemical properties, and they have considerable nutritional benefits. Besides the traditional oil extraction methods, subcritical low temperature extraction as an innovative, clean, and environmentally friendly technology has attracted considerable attention recently. This new technique has many excellent properties, such as low temperature and pressure, short time, better selectivity, environmental compatibility, process simplicity, and the elimination of residual solvent. This review describes the technique of
