“…However, the extraction conditions (60 °C, 400 bar, 80 g/min, 180 min) to the shortest residence time achieved a low yield of 19.81 g of oil/100 g of almonds and the maximum yield in oil extraction was achieved at 60 °C, 500 bar, 40 g/min, 180 min with a value of 23.48 g of oil/100 g of almonds. The fat content of the Sacha inchi almonds was determined by soxhlet extraction with a value of 40.55 ± 0.51 g of oil/100 g of almonds, which is within the range of 40-60% registered for this oleaginous (Chirinos et al, 2013) and it is close to the value reported (42.0 ± 1.1%) by Gutiérrez et al, (2011) for seeds grown in Caquetá, Colombia. Based on this parameter, 400P.80F.180t oil (60 °C, 400 bars, 80 g/min, 180 min), 400P.40F.180t oil (60 °C, 400 bars, 40 g/min, 180 min), 400P.40F.120t oil (60 °C, 400 bars, 40 g/min, 120 min) and 500P.40F.180t oil (60 °C, 500 bars, 40 g/min, 180 min) whose P, F and t suffixes denote pressure, CO 2 flow, and extraction time, presented recoveries of 48.87, 54.41, 46.93 and 57.91% to residence times of 13, 26, 26 and 27 min, respectively.…”

SUMMARY:Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) seeds were employed for oil extraction with supercritical CO 2 at laboratory scale. The supercritical extraction was carried out at a temperature of 60 °C, pressure range of 400-500 bars and CO 2 flow of 40-80 g/min. The maximum recovery was 58% in 180 min, favored by increasing the residence time of CO 2 in the extraction tank. Subsequently, the process was evaluated at pilot scale reaching a maximum recovery of 60% in 105 min, with a temperature of 60 °C, pressure of 450 bars and CO 2 flow of 1270 g/min. The fatty acid composition of the oil was not affected for an extraction period of 30-120 min. The Sacha inchi oil was fractionated with supercritical CO 2 to obtain an omega-3 concentrate oil without finding a considerable increase in the proportion of this compound, due to the narrow range in the carbon number of fatty acids present in the oil (16-18 carbons), making it difficult for selective separation. KEYWORDS: a -linolenic acid; Omega-3; Sacha inchi; Supercritical extractionRESUMEN: Extracción con CO 2 supercrítico de aceite y un concentrado de omega-3 a partir de Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) proveniente de Antioquia, Colombia. Semillas de Sacha inchi fueron empleadas para la extracción de su aceite con CO 2 supercrítico a escala de laboratorio, a una temperatura de 60 °C, entre 400-500 bares de presión y un flujo de CO 2 entre 40-80 g/min, obteniendose una recuperación máxima del 58% en 180 min favorecida por el aumento en el tiempo de residencia del CO 2 en el tanque de extracción. Posteriormente, se evaluó el proceso a escala piloto, alcanzando una recuperación máxima del 60% en 105 min de extracción, a una temperatura de 60 °C, presión de 450 bares y flujo de CO 2 de 1270 g/min, sin afectar la composición de los ácidos grasos del aceite durante un periodo de extracción entre 30-120 min. El aceite de Sacha inchi fue fraccionado con CO 2 supercrítico para la obtención de un aceite concentrado de omega-3, sin encontrar aumento considerable en la proporción de este compuesto debido al estrecho rango en el número de carbonos (16-18 carbonos) de los ácidos grasos presentes en el aceite, lo que dificulta su separación selectiva.

“…22,41,43 By comparing these works with the present work, it can be noted that a similar behavior related to the relative quantities of each compound was found in the seeds oils, with β-sitosterol as the compound found in the highest abundance. Alternatively, comparing the concentrations found in passion fruit seed oil with the other seed oils, the concentrations found in passion seed oil were about twice as high than Zhejiang pecan oil and Sacha inchi oil and, about 1.5, 2 and 5 times lower than soybean, sunflower and corn oils, respectively.…”

An ultrasound-assisted saponification (UAS) method for the determination of phytosterols (campesterol, β-sitosterol and stigmasterol) in passion fruit seed oil, followed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection, was developed and validated. Under the optimum conditions, good linearity with correlation coefficients higher than 0.99 was obtained for all analytes. The recoveries for the proposed approach were between 103 and 107%, the limits of quantification were between 70 and 180 μg kg -1 and the precision values expressed in terms of relative standard deviations (RSD) were lower than 19%. The developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of passion fruit seed oil samples from different species, including yellow passion fruit, sweet granadilla and sweet passion fruit. In all species of analyzed passion fruit seed oils, β-sitosterol was found with the highest abundance, ranging from 0.90 ± 0.02 to 1.60 ± 0.01 mg g -1 of oil, followed by stigmasterol (0.70 ± 0.01 to 1.40 ± 0.12 mg g -1 of oil) and campesterol (0.10 ± 0.01 to 0.30 ± 0.06 mg g -1 of oil). Furthermore, the developed method proved to be a time-saving and efficient analytical procedure for the determination of phytosterols in oil samples.Keywords: Passiflora species, campesterol, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol IntroductionPassiflora species are cultivated throughout the world in tropical areas.1-3 Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa (yellow passion fruit), Passiflora alata (sweet passion fruit), Passiflora ligularis (sweet granadilla) and Passiflora edulis Sims (purple passion fruit) are species widely cultivated for their edible fruits. [4][5][6] Yellow passion fruit is the species most known and appreciated due to its organoleptic properties, such as an intense flavor and slight acidity. The pulp is destined for in natura consumption, but is predominantly used in juice production. 2,4 Furthermore, the pulp is known to be rich in bioactive compounds, such as carotenoids, phenolic compounds and vitamins A, C and D. 2,7 The large-scale production of passion fruit juice generates tons of by-products (peel and seeds) that are important raw materials in the food and cosmetic industries. 8 Recently, several studies have described that passion fruit peel is a source of fiber, predominantly pectin, which provides it with a range of potential applications as a stabilizer, emulsifier and as a thickening and gelling agent for the preparation of food products, e.g., functional beverages, mayonnaise and ice cream toppings. [8][9][10][11][12] In addition, it has been reported that passion fruit peel presents antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds. 5,13,14 Alternatively, passion fruit seeds are described as a rich source of lipids, proteins, minerals and fibers.14-16 Several studies have reported that passion fruit seeds contain about 30% oil, with linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids as the main fatty acids.14,15,17 Furthermore, as well as the peel, passion fruit seed oil has been described as a potential source of bioactive compounds, such as p...

SUMMARY:In conducting this study, the extraction of Trichosanthes kirilowii maxim seed oils (TSO) was carried out with the help of cold pressing (CP), hot pressing (HP) and soxhlet extraction (SE). Investigation, together with comparison, was carried out with respect to the physicochemical properties, thermal stability and antioxidant action of TSO. The key ingredients in the seeds consisted of fat, fiber and protein. The physicochemical characteristics of the oils brought to light the fact that CPTSO possessed top oil quality. The findings also suggested that linoleic acid, punicic acid and oleic acid were the leading unsaturated fatty acids in TSO. It was also discovered that TSO had an almost identical chemical composition regardless of the extraction method was used. It was demonstrated by TG/ DTG curves that both HPTSO and CPTSO had more thermal stability in comparison with SETSO. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity assessments emphasized that CPTSO had better radical scavenging potential. CP had the ability to deliver an extract with higher quality as well as antioxidant activity in comparison with HP and SE methods and can be taken into consideration as a more suitable method in order to attain high quality oil.KEYWORDS: Antioxidant activity; Chemical composition; Fatty acid; Thermal stability; Trichosanthes kirilowii maxim seed oil RESUMEN: Características fisicoquímicas, estabilidad térmica y características antioxidantes del aceite de semillas de Trichosanthes kirilowii maxim según diferentes métodos de extracción. Se realizó la extracción de aceites de semillas Trichosanthes kirilowii maxim (TSO) mediante prensado en frío (CP), prensado en caliente (HP) y extracción mediante soxhlet (SE) y se compararon las propiedades físico-químicas, la estabilidad térmica y la acción antioxidante de TSO. Las semillas estaban compuestas fundamental por grasa, fibra y proteína. Las características fisicoquímicas de los aceites pusieron de manifiesto el hecho de que el aceite de prensado en frío era de una calidad superior. Los estudios también pusieron de manifiesto que los ácidos linoleico, punicílico y oleico eran los principales ácidos grasos insaturados en TSO. Además, se constató que TSO presentaba una composición química casi idéntica, cualquiera que fuera el método de extracción utilizado. Es de destacar, por las curvas TG/DTG que tanto HPTSO como CPTSO tienen más estabilidad térmica que SETSO. Además, la evaluación de la actividad antioxidante determinó que CPTSO tiene un potencial de barrido radical más fuerte. El prensado en frío suministra un aceite con una calidad y actividad antioxidante superior, en comparación con HP, y con el SE, siendo el método más adecuado para obtener un aceite de alta calidad.
