There are different methods that have been employed to extract papaya seed oil. According to a review paper published by Tan et al. , subcritical butane extraction and high-hydrostatic pressure-assisted hexane extraction were found to be the most effective techniques for recovering oil from papaya seeds.
Are papaya seeds a new source of edible oil?
They contain high levels of lipid and thus can be a new source of edible oil. Numerous technologies have been used for extraction of crude oil from papaya seeds. Papaya seed oil is composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids with oleic and palmitic acids being the major ones.
What is papaya seed oil made of?
Papaya seed oil is composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids with oleic acid being the major one. The oil also contains lipophilic phytochemicals such as tocopherols, phytosterols and carotenoids. Further investigations are necessary to validate the functional properties of papaya seed oil produced from different extraction techniques.
How to extract papaya seed oil using uase technique?
Extraction of papaya seed oil using UASE technique was initially proposed by Samaram et al. (2013). They mixed papaya seed powder with hexane at the ratio of 1:8 (w/v) and sonicated in an ultrasonic water bath at 50 C for 30 min, followed by oil recovery using evap- ° oration.
