Rubber Seed Oil Extraction Process

Rubber seed oil is a potential source for biodiesel production.

Rubber seed oil extraction process. Oleic c18 1 24 6. Linoleic c18 2 39 6. Thus the oil content remained in the waste rubber seed is still plentiful. N hexane gave the higher oil yield 63 14 wt than isopropanol 56 7 wt.

Citation needed palmitic c16 0 0 2. The quadratic model developed for the oil extraction process had r 2 of 0 9990. Recent analysis shows that rubber seed oil contained the following fatty acids. 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.

Mechanical pressing for oil bearing seeds and nuts. Rubber seeds from the rubber tree hevea brasiliensis are in abundance in nigeria from which non edible oil could be obtained. Rubber seed contains rubber seed oil. 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 further pretreated by degumming process. Rubber seeds were deshelled dried crushed and pressed in a mechanical press. This work intends to focus on the first two parameters. The biodiesel production from rubber seed oil used two.

Rubber seed oil extraction was carried using n n hexane and isopropanol. However the seeds are wasted in the rubber plantations annually even though the extractable oil has potential technical applications. Present work focuses on oil extraction from rubber seed by mechanical pressing method and kinetic study of acid esterification process. Stearic c18 0 8 7.

The oil taking process from the waste rubber seed is done by. To obtain the vegetable oil by conventional method the seed is pressed by mechanical process or extraction with chemical solvent. 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. 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.

Of course this process of course requires a lot of manufacturing cost. And extracting with volatile solvents employed in large scale. 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. 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.

Solvent extraction capacity and solvent ef. Quality of the oil was affected by choice of solvent used for the extraction.
