Ultrasound-assisted extraction of oil from &ITMoringa oleifera&IT Lam. seed using various solvents
The present research analyzes the extraction of oil from Moringa oleifera Lam. seed using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) technique under different operating conditions such as temperature, solvent type, and time. Three factors with three levels Box-Behnken response surface design was employed to optimize and investigate the effect of process variables on the response (oil yield). The independent variables showed significant effect on the extraction process. Interactive effects of the extraction process variables were analyzed by Pareto analysis of variance (ANOVA), and second-order polynomial model was used to plot the 3D response surface plot. Optimum extraction conditions for the maximizing the extraction yield of oil (59%) was found to be: temperature of 35 degrees C, solvent type of 2, and time of 20 min. FT-IR was used to analysis the oil. From the results, it can be concluded that the UAE is the effective technique to extract the oil from Moringa oleifera Lam. seed.
