Is sunflower oil a good solvent for decaffeination?
Conventional decaffeination processes are capable of removing caffeine present in the coffee, but it also removes the flavouring/aromatic components to some extent and in many cases use toxic solvents. In this article a simple extraction method is presented using sunflower oil, a much less toxic solvent with good process and environmental benefits.
Which extraction method is best for sunflower seeds?
Therefore, prepress solvent extraction, with the highest oil recovery yield, is the process method utilized today for the majority of the sunflower seed that is crushed globally.
How does a sunflower extractor recover the solvent pumped to the extractor?
The solvent evaporated from the sunflower meal and the miscella are both recovered in the solvent recovery system within the solvent extraction process area. A typical sunflower plant will recover 99.8¨C99.9% of the solvent pumped to the extractor.
What is decaffeination?
Decaffeination is the extraction of caffeine from yerba mate, coffee, guarana, tea, cocoa, and other plants by different methods. Commonly, the decaffeination can be fulfilled by water immersion, water-ethyl acetate immersion, methylene chloride (or dichloromethane) extraction, and supercritical CO2extraction.
