Screw press extraction is a cost-efficient method, requiring a shorter extraction time than solvent extraction process and leaving no solvent residues in the oil product. Here, a single screw press machine at different press head temperatures was used to extract oil from Sacha inchi seeds.
How to extract Sacha Inchi oil based on different solvents?
Sacha inchi oil extracted using Soxhlet extraction with dif-ferent solvents results in a higher oil yield, but it also requires a higher boiling point temperature, which can affect the composition of the extracted oil (Jitpinit et al. 2022). The yield of Sacha inchi oil can be increased by modifying the extraction method variables.
Which hydraulic oil press machine is used to extract Sacha Inchi oil?
The hydraulic oil press machine (BY-180, Henan Beyrong Machinery Co.,Ltd., Shanghai, China) was used for extracting the sacha inchi oil (SIO). The machine, as depicted in Figure 1, consisted of a generator with adjustable pressure (0–55 MPa) and a pump controller. The maximum pressure used in this study was limited to ≤50 MPa.
What is Sacha Inchi oil (Sio) extraction?
Sacha inchi oil (SIO) extraction has been extensively studied using various oil extraction techniques to achieve a high oil recovery.
