Extraction and characterization of indigenous Ethiopian castor oil bast
The analysis on chemical composition revealed that the castor oil bast [COB] fiber is composed of 64.5–67.3% cellulose, 16.4–21.5% hemicellulose, 15.8–17.2% lignin, 0.3–0.9% extractive with 4.9–5.3% ash content. FTIR spectra of the extracted fibers also confirmed the presence of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and extractives.
Mechanical extraction: Among the various methods, mechanical presses are the most commonly used to extract oil [57, 62]. This method can be done with either manual plunger presses or engine-driven screw presses. Screw presses powered by an engine can extract 68–80% of the available oil, while plunger presses can only extract 60–65% [62].
7,000 growth capital investment into SAMANU, Ethiopia’s largest
solvent extraction plant to enable the production of edible oil from locally available seeds (soya, sunflower, groundnut, cottonseed, sesame). The new plant will have a daily 200-tonne crushing capacity. This will increase the production of SAMANU’s leading edible oil brand “Tena” by 130% and create more than 200 new jobs.
First, oil seeds must be procured and approved based on their quality characteristics. Oil seeds should be cleaned and sifted to remove extraneous matter and conditioned or pre-treated. Depending on the type of oil seed, this may include soaking, cooking, removing hulls, and/or flaking or crushing. Oil must then be extracted from oil seeds.
Extraction and characterization of indigenous Ethiopian castor oil bast
Castor-oil plant (Ricinus communis), also called cas-tor bean is large plant of the spurge family (Euphor-biaceae), grown commercially for the pharmaceutical and industrial uses of its oil and for use in landscaping (Go´mez et al. 2016; Salihu et al. 2014b). The castor plant is a robust annual that may grow 6–15 feet
Similarly, the pharmacological activities of essential oils extracted from Ethiopian endemic medicinal plants are presented in Table 6. In general, the activities are described in terms of the type(s) of plant extracts investigated, the type(s) of biological models employed, the potency measurements (MIC/IC 50 /LC 50 /ED 50 ) of the extract(s), or fraction (s) and the name(s) of the standard
Towards edible oil self-sufficiency in Ethiopia: Lessons
Nine oilseeds namely noug, gomenzer, linseed, soybean, sunflower, castor, sesame, ground nut and cotton are important in Ethiopia for edible oil consumption. During the last
The methods used to extract essential oil from these plants are; steam distillation (SD), solvent-assisted extraction, hydro distillation (HD), ultrasonic-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction and solvent-free microwave extraction (Belhachat et al., 2018). Oil extraction techniques are classified as shown in Fig. 1.
A Description of Some Essential Oil Bearing Plants in Ethiopia
A morphological description, the habitat and areas where 28 aromatic plants can be found growing in Ethiopia and their local uses is presented. Of the plants discussed, seven are cultivated (Trachy...
The oil extract of unripe fruit of A. corrorima (A. Braun) P. C. M. Jansen was shown to have an activity comparable to the reference drug gentamycin sulphate. P. aeruginosa was the most resistant to all the plant extracts tested in this study (Bacha et al., 2016).
