In this paper, soybean oil deacidification and hexane removal using laboratory scale solvent resistance nanofiltration membranes based technique is presented. Composite nanofiltration membranes made of different polymers ...

Understanding the knowledge of swelling and stability properties of polymeric spheres are essential for improved oil recovery; these properties will allow guaranteeing an efficient block of high permeability channels and ...

In this work a modified International Olive Council (IOC) method for wax determination involving a double-adsorbent layer of silica gel and silver nitrate-impregnated silica gel is presented (SN method). Column chromatography ...

Vegetable oil extraction, as performed today by the oilseed-crushing industry, usually involves solvent extraction with commercial hexane. After this step, the vegetable oil–hexane mixture (miscella) must be treated to ...

Soybean oil is widely used as cooking oil, whereas the soybean cake is a valuable ingredient for animal food. The extraction of soybean oil is an energy-intensive process, with additional significant impact on the environment ...
