Simplex‐Centroid Mixture Design Applied to the Aqueous Enzymatic Extraction of Fatty Acid‐Balanced Oil from Mixed Seeds

Abstract

A one‐step method was developed to extract oil from a mixture of soybeans, peanuts, linseeds, and tea seeds using an aqueous enzymatic method. The proportion of the four seeds was targeted in accordance with a fatty acid ratio of 0.27 (SFA, saturated fatty acid(s)): 1 (MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acid(s)): 1 (PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid(s)), and the oil extraction yield was maximized by applying the simplex‐centroid mixture design method. Three models were developed for describing the relationship between the proportion of the individual seeds in the mixture, the fatty acid ratio in the extracted oil, and the oil extraction yield, respectively. The developed models were then analyzed using an ANOVA and were found to fit the data quite well, with R2 values of 0.98, 0.93, and 0.93, respectively. The three models were validated experimentally. The results indicated that the ratio of fatty acids in the oil ranged between 0.98 and 1.12 (MUFA:PUFA) and between 0.26 and 0.28 (SFA:MUFA), which were quite close to the target values of 1 and 0.27, respectively. The oil extraction yield of 62.13 % was slightly higher than the predicted value (60.32 %).

Effect of co-products of enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction of soybeans on ethanol production in dry-grind corn fermentation

“…These restrictions affect profit margins and/or increase soybean oil and meal costs (Anonymous, 2002). Enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction processing (EAEP) has recently received interest as an environmentally-friendly alternative to conventional oil-extraction technologies (Lamsal and Johnson, 2007;Campbell and Glatz, 2009;de Moura et al, 2009;Jung et al, 2009;Li et al, 2013). EAEP can achieve $97% oil recovery from soybeans, by using enzymes to free the oil from solid matrix.…”

High-performance size-exclusion chromatography studies on the formation and distribution of polar compounds in camellia seed oil during heating

“…The fatty acid composition was carried out by an Agilent 6890-5973 gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS; Agilent Technologies, CA, USA) analysis according to Li et al (2013).…”

“…So far, most studies on CSO have been focused on chemical characterization (Su et al, 2014;Wang X.Q. et al, 2014), especially some active components and antioxidant capacity, the extraction (Li et al, 2013;Lim et al, 2013), refining process (Na, 2008), and adulteration (Hai and Wang, 2006). Few studies have been reported on its formation of degradation compounds during heating.…”

Optimization of aqueous enzymatic extraction of oil from shrimp processing by-products using response surface methodology

“…Mechanical extraction can result in low oil recovery and denatured proteins, and the use of organic solvents may cause solvent residue and non-friendly to environment. The AEE for oil extraction as an emerging technology, enables simultaneous recovery of oil and protein from most oil materials (Li et al, 2013a). Enzymes are useful for the extraction of oil due to their high efficiency and specificity.…”
