Study on Microwave Hydrodiffusion Gravity Extraction of the Vegetable Oil from Calophyllum inophyllum L Seed

摘要

This article is about extracting the oil from Calophyllum inophyllum L using microwave hydrodiffusion gravity method (MHG). It mainly studies the effect of material size, microwave time, and microwave power on the extraction yield. The experiment shows that the factors which influence the extraction rate are microwave time, microwave power, and material size. The maximum condition for extraction oil using MHG method is 800 W in 20 minutes and the material size is 2 cm to give oil in 0.575% yield.
