“…Taguchi design was firstly applied to select the two most important contributing factors among the commonly applied three factors, assuming that there was no interaction between factors. Taguchi design offered a simple and systematic approach to reduce the number of treatment combinations when multiple factors were considered, and it could inform the contribution of individual treatment factor (Karabas, 2014). This information would be especially valuable for industrial or scale-up extraction process, considering less number of factors critically affecting quality characteristics of obtained extracts.…”

Conventional solvent extraction (CE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UE) were systematically optimized for fruit (blueberries, cherries, and red pear peels) with different anthocyanin compositions to pursue high recovery of polyphenols and anthocyanins with high antioxidant activity in this study. The effects of the extraction methods and conditions on anthocyanin compositions in different fruit were also analyzed by HPLC. The optimum were identified as: 60% methanol, 50 °C, 1 h using CE or 70% methanol, 30 °C, 20 min using UE for blueberries; 60% ethanol, 70 °C, 1 h using CE or 80% ethanol, 30 °C, 20 min using UE for cherries; 60% methanol, 50 °C, 1 h using CE or 60% ethanol, 30 °C, 60 min using UE for red pear peels. From analysis, ultrasound specifically enhanced the extraction of total monomeric anthocyanins from fruit by dissociating polymeric anthocyanins in less polar solvent system. HPLC analysis revealed that both extraction methods and conditions altered the amount of specific anthocyanin compounds in fruit extracts, including delphinidin, cyanidin, petunidin, pelargonidin, peonidin, or malvidin with different sugar moiety. Therefore, different conditions for CE and UE might be implemented for specific fruit with different anthocyanin compositions for maximizing the recovery of anthocyanins.

“…The forecast future reduction in the supply of fossil fuels has promoted efforts to motivate the implementation of renewable energy sources such as bio-based fuel resources. As replacements for fossil fuels, various types of bio-based fuel such as vegetable oils (raw, processed or used), methyl esters from oil and liquid fuels from biomass have been examined (Ahmad et al 2007;Karabas 2014). In this century, various researchers have accelerated the study on alternative energy and renewable fuels.…”

Biodiesel is an alternative renewable fuel which is produced by using biomass resources. Its physicochemical properties are close to those of the petroleum diesel fuel. This study highlights biodiesel production from safflower seed oil. The main aim of this experimental work is to optimize the process parameters, namely the methanolto-oil molar ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction time and reaction temperature for biodiesel production. The Taguchi robust design approach was used with an L9 orthogonal array to analyze the influence of process factors on performance parameters. The results showed that the optimum yield of biodiesel was 93.8% with viscosity 5.60 cSt, with a methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 4:1, catalyst concentration of 1.5 wt%, reaction time of 90 min and reaction temperature of 60°C. The catalyst concentration was found to be the most influencing parameter which contributed 51.1% and 50.8% of the total effect on the yield of biodiesel, Y 1 , and viscosity of biodiesel, Y 2 , respectively.

“…The densities of all of the SOMEs obtained remained in the standard range (0.86–0.90 g cm −3 ) and are all in good agreement with the results obtained by Karabas and Duz et al . for different varieties of safflower . The acid numbers (mgKOH g –1 ) of the SOMEs are <0.5 and within the ranges set by TS EN 14214 standards.…”

BACKGROUND: Increased water demand caused by population growth has forced the reuse of wastewater after treatment. Safflower is a salt-tolerant plant that can be irrigated with moderately saline water. Cultivation of safflower plant can be achieved by irrigation with membrane bioreactor (MBR)-treated wastewater and further utilized in oil and then biodiesel production according to standard (TS EN 14214). Irrigation water quality can impact oil and biodiesel yield and content.RESULTS: In this study, safflower plants were cultivated using different irrigation strategies in a field next to a wastewater treatment plant in Menderes-Izmir, Turkey. These strategies were: irrigation weekly with MBR-treated wastewater or with tap water; with MBR-treated wastewater just three times during phenological periods; and without irrigation. Oil yields for seeds of the plants irrigated by these strategies were 103.8, 98.7, 63.7 and 57.4 (kg oil daa −1 ), respectively. Oil yield was found to be highest following weekly irrigation with MBR-treated wastewater that has a high salinity of 4 mS cm −1 . Safflower oil methyl ester (SOME) contents of biodiesel were 94.6 and 94.5% (g SOME:g biodiesel), and ester yields of biodiesel were 71.3 and 81.4% (g biodiesel:g oil -1 ) for safflower irrigated weekly with MBR-treated wastewater and tap water, respectively. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that SOME yields and contents of safflowers irrigated with MBR-treated wastewater and tap water weekly are so close. Biodiesel characteristics and qualitiesThe obtained safflower oil was used as the raw material and mixed with NaOH and methanol to carry out a transesterification reaction J Chem Technol Biotechnol 2020; 95: 527-534
