Why do we need improved cultivars for vegetable oil extraction?

Limited land availability and growing demands for vegetable oils call for the development of improved cultivars for harnessing higher yields as well as more efficient oil extraction technologies to augment oil recovery from different oilseed crops without compromising with the oil quality.

How much oil can be extracted from vegetable oil crops?

Table 1. Extraction of vegetable edible oils from oil crops. Maximum oil extraction yield = 55.47%. T = 60¨C65 ¡ãC, Solvent = n-hexane.

Which methods are used in vegetable oil extraction?

From the preceding analysis, it is observed that recent research on vegetable oil extractions has been focused more on the assisted methods (microwave and ultrasound) and supercritical fluid extraction compared to the conventional solvent and mechanical extraction methods.

What is the main source of vegetable oil?

Oilseeds provide the largest source of vegetable oil, and the residue after extraction is rich in protein ( Lomascolo, Uzan-Boukhris, Sigoillot, & Fine, 2012 ). Large amounts of press cakes and residues of oil extraction are available, with a world oilseed production of 600.47 million metric tons in 2018/2019 ( USDA, 2018 ).
