Abstract:

The supercritical CO2 extraction of kiwi fruit seed oil was carried out in two modes, namely constant pressure and two-stage pressure reducing separation, and the latter mode was selected for the studies carried out subsequently due to better physico-chemical properties and sensory attributes of kiwi fruit seed oil. Some conditions for the supercritical CO2 extraction of kiwi fruit seed oil in the latter mode were optimized using single factor and orthogonal array design methods. The results showed that the optimum values of pressure and temperature were found to be 9 MPa and 42 ℃ in separation pot Ⅰand 6 MPa and 20-30 ℃ in separation pot Ⅱ, respectively. The water content and acid value of the product extracted under these conditions were both very low and could meet the requirements of relevant industrial standards without refining.

Key words: supercritical CO2, extraction, separation, kiwi fruit seed oil, acid value
