“…Alkanol:ammonia:water-hexane extraction (Naczk, Myhara, & Shahidi, 1992;Naczk, Shahidi, & Rubin, 1988;Rubin, Diosady, & Phillips, 1984;Tzeng, Diosady, & Rubin, 1990;Wanasundara & Shahidi, 1994) or a series of solvent extraction stages, i.e. butanol, 2-propanol or dichloromethane in 2-4 stages (Liadakis, Floridis, Tzia, & Oreopoulou, 1993), can be performed for removing oligosaccharides and inhibitors such as glucosinolates from canola or gossypol from cottonseed meals or seeds (Gastrock, Eaves, & D'Aquin, 1970). Water is operationally advantageous over alcohols since it is non-flammable, explosive nor toxic.…”
