  • How to extract castor seeds?
  • Currently used extraction techniques are supercritical fluid, pulsed electric field, Soxhlet, enzyme-assisted extraction, ultrasound, and microwave-assisted extraction. These methods are efficient and result in rapid extract recovery. Castor seeds are one of the most produced non-edible oil crops in India.‌
  • How does hybrid intensification improve castor oil extraction yield?
  • Hybrid intensification (ultrasound and microwave) increased castor oil extraction yield by 20%. Energy consumption is reduced by up to 40% compared to the conventional mechanical stirring technique. Omega-6 fatty acid composition is increased in the oil extracted through the hybrid technique.‌
  • How hexane is used to extract oil from castor seeds?
  • The oil extraction The investigation showcased the extraction of oil from castor seeds employing hexane as a solvent through diverse techniques, including maceration extraction, Soxhlet extraction, reflux extraction, and ultrasonic extraction, as depicted in Fig. 2 (b).‌
  • Which extraction method provides the highest yield of castor oil?
  • The hybrid ultrasound-microwave-assisted extraction provided the highest oil yield, whereas supercritical CO 2 extraction showed no effect. The composition and properties of castor oil depend on not only extraction methods but also geographical origin, climate, soil, cultivar, and harvest time.‌
  • Can castor seed oil be used as a raw material?
  • This study involved the extraction of castor seed oil, a non-edible oil, to serve as a raw material for the production of liquid biofuels. The Soxhlet extraction technique proved to be the best method for extracting castor seed oil, yielding the highest amount of extracted oil at 52.45 wt% compared to other methods.‌
  • Is Castor a viable seed oil extraction method?
  • Castor is one of the essential seed crops. Demand for increasing vegetable oils (edible and non-edible) necessitates developing cost-effective, sustainable, environmentally friendly, and industrially viable seed oil extraction techniques that produce high extraction yield with minimal impact on bioactive quality.
