Physicochemical and biochemical characterizations of some Tunisian seed
Then, binary blends of each cold-pressed oil (30%) with soybean oil (70%) were analyzed before and after heat treatment (170 °C for 10 h/day for 5 days) followed by the application of the simplex
The oil extraction by mechanical pressing is the most common method for continuous treatment of oleaginous seeds without solvent. Different types of presses can be used depending on the purpose (expeller, expander, and twin-screw extruder) and on the capacity range (3 kg h−1 to 150 t day−1). At the laboratory scale, many authors have highlighted the effect of operating parameters (screw
Cold pressed Citrullus lanatus seed oil
The Tunisian cold pressed “Crimson” Citrullus lanatus seed oil variety exhibited an iodine value of 135.3 gI 2 /100 g oil (Rezig et al., 2019). This value was higher than those reported by Al-Khalifa (1996) and Mokwala and Shai (2017) for the Egyptian, Iranian, and Chinese Citrullus lanatus and sweet, bitter, and weedy Citrullus lanatus Thumb (Matsum and Nakai) seed oil varieties.
The reclaim of less-used plant sources is a novel approach to the growing demand for healthy and eco-friendly foods, and it constitutes a sustainable alternative to replace conventional food ingredients and sources of bioactives. In this work, a phytochemical profile in terms of mineral elements, total polyphenols, fatty acids, α-tocopherol, sterols, and squalene was realized for several
Nutritional and Health Values of Tunisian Edible Oils
Commercially available cold pressed oils from fruit kernels, nuts, and seeds were purchased in 2021 from the local market in Mahdia, Tunisia. In particular, the oils were
In this study, milk thistle seeds growing in different areas in Tunisia were cold pressed and the extracted oils were examined for their chemical and antioxidant properties. The major fatty acids were linoleic acid (C18:2) (57.0%, 60.0%, and 60.3% for the milk thistle seed oils native to Bizerte, Zaghouan and Sousse, respectively) and oleic acid (C18:1) (15.5%, 21.5%, and 22.4% for the milk
Tunisian Milk Thistle: An Investigation of the Chemical Composition
The α-Tocopherol amounts in Zaghouan and Sousse milk thistle seed oils are in the same range of those that were reported by El-Mallah et al. for the Silybum marianum L. seed oil extracted by chloroform-methanol (84.5%) and those reported by Fathi-Achachlouei and Azadmard-Damirchi for the Iranian Barak castle and CN-milk thistle seed oil varieties extracted by hexane/isopropanol (84.9% and 86.
An oilseed press (Fig. 1) is the heart of an oilseed pressing opera on. This fact sheet focuses on small oilseed presses used for edible oil produc on or for producing oil for fuel or bio-diesel produc on. Oilseed presses separate oilseeds such as sunflowers, canola, and soybeans into oil and oilseed meal. Pumpkin or grape seeds and brazil nuts
Physicochemical characterization of oil, antioxidant potential,
PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Three Tunisian pomegranate cultivars namely Jebali, Testouri, and Gabsi were investigated for their seeds oil and phenolic composition. Pomegranate seeds oil (PSO) are rich in bioactive polyunsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols that can be of interest in several food and chemical industrial applications.
Opuntia seed oil is an edible oil, with reported low toxicity (Boukeloua et al., 2012), which is light green to yellow (Sawaya & Khan, 1982; Moutkane, 2015) and is a liquid at room temperature (El Mannoubi et al., 2009). The seed oil’s refractive index and density range from 1.4596 to 1.4831 and 0.904–0.907, respectively (Table 33.2).
