What are the optimum conditions for the production of pine nut oil?

The optimum conditions for the production of pine nut oil with solvent extraction were attained at the extraction temperature of 39.3 °C, extraction time of 33.4 min and S/S ratio of 10.8:1 (mL g ?1 ).

Which solvent is best for extracting pine nut oil?

N-hexane was found to be the most effective solvent for the extraction. Extraction efficiency, physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of pine nut oil were highly affected by temperature, time and S/S ratio. Desirability function approach was used to determine optimum conditions.

What factors affect the extraction efficiency of pine nut oil?

The results of this study showed that temperature, time and S/S ratio were the important factors affecting the extraction efficiency, antioxidant activity and physicochemical properties of pine nut oil. N-hexane was found to be the best solvent for the pine nut oil extraction.

Do solvent extraction conditions affect physicochemical properties of pine nut oil?

Pine nut oils obtained at all the extraction conditions were stable and in good quality. Effects of solvent extraction conditions on the extraction efficiency, physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of pine nut oil were investigated and optimized by using three level Box-Behnken design (BBD).
