Rubber Seed Oil Extraction Process

Rubber seeds were deshelled dried crushed and pressed in a mechanical press.

Rubber seed oil extraction process.

Recent analysis shows that rubber seed oil contained the following fatty acids. Mechanical pressing for oil bearing seeds and nuts. If the full potentials of the oil are to be realized there is need to have a data base information on the oil extraction process and. The oil further pretreated by degumming process.

Oil extraction isolation of oil from animal by products fleshy fruits such as the olive and palm and oilseeds such as cottonseed sesame seed soybeans and peanuts oil is extracted by three general methods. Stearic c18 0 8 7. The biodiesel production from rubber seed oil used two. Rubber seed oil is a potential source for biodiesel production.

Of course this process of course requires a lot of manufacturing cost. Citation needed palmitic c16 0 0 2. Oleic c18 1 24 6. Rubber seed contains rubber seed oil.

To obtain the vegetable oil by conventional method the seed is pressed by mechanical process or extraction with chemical solvent. The quadratic model developed for the oil extraction process had r 2 of 0 9990. Rubber seeds from the rubber tree hevea brasiliensis are in abundance in nigeria from which non edible oil could be obtained. Rubber seed oil extraction was carried using n n hexane and isopropanol.

For seed oil extraction notably solvent extraction cap acity effects of solvent on oil properties process safety solvent volatility and stability and economic consider ations. Linoleic c18 2 39 6. Rubber seed oil is oil extracted from the seeds of rubber trees in the latex manufacturing process rubber seeds are not historically collected and commercialized. N hexane gave the higher oil yield 63 14 wt than isopropanol 56 7 wt.

Present work focuses on oil extraction from rubber seed by mechanical pressing method and kinetic study of acid esterification process. Hrso was obtained by heating rso. In the present study non edible seed oils from underutilized nigerian nig800 clonal rubber seeds were extracted using solvent method to obtain a yield of 43 wt after extraction for 1 h using 0. The oil taking process from the waste rubber seed is done by.

And extracting with volatile solvents employed in large scale. However the seeds are wasted in the rubber plantations annually even though the extractable oil has potential technical applications. This work intends to focus on the first two parameters. In the oil extraction process using mechanical methods around 30 rendemen is obtain while the oil content in the rubber seed is around 50 60.

Rendering used with animal products and oleaginous fruits. Quality of the oil was affected by choice of solvent used for the extraction.
