Optimization of manufacturing parameters used safflower oil obtained by solvent extraction method for determination of oil properties

Abstract

In this study crude oil from Remzibey-05 safflower seeds has been breeding in Turkey, was obtained by solvent extraction method. The maximum oil extraction rate of 30% was obtained at the end. Safflower oil has high unsaturated fatty acid content (91.17%) and highest fatty acids found was linoleic (C18:2) 56.82% and oleic (C18:1) acids 33.98%. Physicochemical properties of safflower seed oil were determined with the analysis and measurements. In addition, solvent-type (n-hexane, and dichloromethane diethyl ether), seed, seed-to-solvent ratio: ratio of solvent mixture (1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 (w/w)), stirring rate (200,400 and 600 rpm) and extraction time (1, 2 and 3 hour), the parameters of fat synthesis from solvent extraction method, which determined the effect of experimental design. According to the results of the ANOVA analysis of variance, the parameter that the highest degree of influence the production of safflower oil seed-to-solvent ratio, while the lowest effective parameter was extraction time.
