Does temperature affect extraction yields of peanut oil?

Sharma et al. [ 46] reported a significant effect of temperature on extraction yields of peanut oils at 40 ¡ãC which however dropped significantly when temperatures were reduced to 37 ¡ãC. The drop was associated with a possibility of enzyme thermo-inactivation.

What are the optimal conditions for peanut oil extraction?

The optimal conditions for the extraction process were found to be a pressure of 8000 psi and a temperature of 80 ¡ãC. Lower temperatures resulted in decreased extraction rates. Furthermore, a 3-min holding time was the most effective for dissolving peanut oil up to the saturation level in the SC-CO 2 fluid.

What methods are used to extract peanut oil?

This review elucidates the methods used for extracting peanut oil, including mechanical and chemical processes that have been combined with biological or physical pre-treatment techniques. Their primary goals are to maximize oil extraction and unlock the untapped potential of defatted whole peanuts.

What is the optimal particle size for peanut oil extraction?

By crushing the peanuts into a paste, an optimal average particle size of 15.2 ¦Ìm was determined, followed by roasting in an oven at 150 ¡ãC for 20 min to improve the oil extraction yield.
