Sacha inchi oil yield varies depending on the extraction method, including supercritical CO2 extraction, semi-continuous supercritical CO2 extraction, manual cold press, subcritical extraction with n-propane, aqueous enzy-matic extraction, and pressurized liquid with intermittent purge.
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.
Which countries export Sacha Inchi products?
Exported Sacha inchi products include oil, toast, powder, seeds, natural, snacks, and capsules, but oil remains the main product in the export markets of South Korea, the United States, Japan, Canada and France (Ramos-Escudero et al. 2019a).
Does ultrasonic extraction improve Sacha Inchi oil yield?
The results indicated that there was no significant difference in the oil yield of the sacha inchi samples among the various extraction methods ( p > 0.05). However, the extraction time required for ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) and conventional extraction (CE) using n-hexane and ethanol was approximately double that of HCPE.
