Abstract


Aqueous extraction is a promising green alternative to hexane extraction. This study used a salt effect-aided aqueous extraction process (AEP-SE) for extracting Camellia oleifera seed oil (COSO) to improve oil extractability and avoid emulsification in the aqueous system. The highest oil extractability rate of 88.8% was obtained under 1.48 mol L–1 sodium carbonate, a solution-to-flour ratio of 3.85, and 3.23h of extraction time with the quality of the aqueous system-extracted oil being similar to those of a commercial sample of COSO and hexane-extracted oil in terms of color, iodine value and saponifcation value, although its moisture content was higher. Furthermore, the free fatty acid content of the aqueous system-extracted oil was lower than that of the solvent-extracted oil. The values of the inibihitory concentration at 50% of oil obtained by AEP-SE and organic solvent extraction as measured by DPPH scavenging activity essay, were 2.27 mg/mL and 3.31 mg/mL. AEP-SE is therefore a promising environmentally friendly method for the large-scale preparation of COSO.
