Sacha inchi oil yield varies depending on the extraction method, including supercritical CO 2 extraction, semi-continuous supercritical CO 2 extraction, manual cold press, subcritical extraction with n- propane, aqueous enzymatic extraction, and pressurized liquid with intermittent purge.
What is AGICO Sacha Inchi oil extraction machine?
AGICO sacha inchi oil extraction machine is a type of small scale oil extraction equipment, it has a capacity from 1L to 200L. Our small sacha inchi nut oil press is ideal for sacha inchi oil. In general sacha inchi oil extraction process requires heating and high pressure treatment.
What is a Sacha Inchi oil press?
The small oil press we developed uses the world’s most advanced extraction technology, subcritical low-temperature extraction, to extract oil from the target materials. Sacha inchi is also commonly knew as plukenetia volubilis, sacha peanut, mountain peanut, Inca nut or Inca-peanut. It is a perennial plant originated from South America.
How to increase the yield of Sacha Inchi oil?
The yield of Sacha inchi oil can be increased by modifying the extraction method variables. For example, in supercritical CO 2, increasing the temperature from 40°C to 60°C and pressure from 300 to 400bar increases the oil yield from 43.60 to 50.10g oil/100g seeds (Follegatti-Romero et al. 2009 ).
