Which emulsion gel is best for mango kernel oil extraction?
Mango butter emulsion gels had been found to have similar physical, thermal and mechanical properties as cocoa butter emulsion gel (Sagiri et al., 2014 ). Therefore, this study into finding the best solvent vis-à-vis condition for mango kernel seeds oil yield will produce vital information on the best condition for mango kernel oil extraction.
What reagent is used to extract MKO from mango kernel powder?
Analytical grade reagent of petroleum ether (<99% purity; Bp range of 39 to 57 °C) purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (America) was used in the soxhlet extraction of MKO from mango kernel powders. 2.2. Methods 2.2.1. Solvent extraction Ten grams of mango kernel powder contained inside a silk sac was inserted into the thimble of the soxhlet extractor.
How is oil extracted from oilseeds?
Conventional oil extraction from oilseeds has been performed by hydraulic pressing, expeller pressing and solvent extraction (SE) [ 1 ]. Among these methods, solvent extraction has been widely adapted for economical and practical concerns.
Which functional groups are present in ethanol extraction of mango kernel oil?
The functional groups present were majorly CH 3, CH 2 and COH, while ethanol extraction had CH 2 and OH; these will assist in authenticating mango kernel oil. Although SC-CO 2 had lower yield, the microscopy analysis showed that it had greater oil concentration as well as oil that were very small (probably micro or nano) in size.
