  • How to extract pomegranate seed oil?
  • Superheated hexane extraction (SHHE), Soxhlet extraction and cold pressing method were compared for the extraction of pomegranate seed oil. The extraction efficiencies of different temperatures (80, 100, 120 °C), mean particle sizes (0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 mm), and n-hexane flow rates (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mL/min) were investigated.‌
  • How is pomegranate extracted?
  • Pomegranate (20.0 g) was placed in a laboratory made extraction vessel for 72 h, under 10 tonnes, using a standard pellet maker mechanical press. The extraction vessel was made in SS304 with 50 mL effective volume. By pressing the seeds, the oil was collected at the bottom of the extraction vessel.‌
  • Why do pomegranate seeds need to be treated before extraction?
  • Solvent extraction is commonly used by industries because of its high oil yield, low cost, and large-scale automated production . Pretreatment of pomegranate seeds prior to extraction has been an emerging novel technique in enhancing the oil yield, without diminishing the quality of bioactives.‌
  • Can pomegranate seeds be extracted by sonication?
  • Goula et al. used cellulase and Peclyve V to enzymatically treat pomegranate seed for oil extraction by sonication. The use of Peclyve produced a higher extraction yield as compared to cellulase due to its action on the pectic substances which are the prevalent cell wall polysaccharides in pomegranate seeds.‌
  • Should pomegranate seeds be blanched before solvent extraction?
  • Kaseke, Opara, and Fawole (2020) reported that blanching pomegranate seeds before solvent extraction at 90 °C for 3 min could induce structure modification in parenchymal cells and also improve the oil yield by 35% along with other functional properties.‌
  • How enzymatic pretreatment of pomegranate seeds improve oil extraction?
  • The research highlighted that an enzymatic pretreatment of pomegranate seeds increased the extraction yield of oil and enhanced its radical scavenging ability. The use of enzymes depends on the complexity of the cell wall. Proteolytic, cellulolytic, and pectolytic enzymes are also used during PSO extraction processes .
