  • How to extract oil from SAF-flower seed?
  • Petroleum benzene, hexane, diethyl ether and acetone were used for extraction the total oil from saf-flower seed under hot(Soxhlet extraction for 5 h)and cold(rinsing bath at room temperature for 12 h)conditions. The solvents were removed with a rotary vacuum evapora-tor at 50°C.
  • What are safflower seeds used for?
  • Its seeds are used for production of cooking oil and also used as salad dressing and colorant1). Safflower seeds contain 38–48% oil, 15–22% protein and 11–22% fiber. Moreover, the fatty acid composition of saf-flower seed oil is 6–8% palmitic, 2–3% stearic, 16–20% oleic and 71–75% linoleic acids2).
  • What is the oil content of safflower seeds?
  • Oil contents of safflower seeds extracted by hot extraction system were changed between 37.40% (acetone) and 39.53% (petroleum benzene), while that of cold extraction was varied between 39.96% (petroleum benzene) and 39.40% (diethyl ether).
  • What is oleic acid in safflower oil?
  • Oleic acid contents of safflower oils extracted by hot extraction system was ranged between 41.20% (acetone) and 42.54% (hexane), its content in oils obtained by cold extraction method was varied between 40.58% (acetone) and 42.10% (hexane and diethyl ether).
