Abstract:

In the present study, the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of seabuckthron seed oil was optimized using an orthogonal array design. Besides, thermosensitive substances in seabuckthron seed oil were analyzed. The optimum extraction conditions were determined as extraction at 40 ℃ at an extraction pressure of 25 MPa and a separation pressure of 8 MPa for 120 min with a CO2 flow rate of 18 kg/h. Under these conditions, the oil yield was 52%. The content of α-VE as a thermosensitive substance in seabuckthron seed oil was 2.6% as determined by HPLC and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction resulted in a 3.7% α-VE loss when compared with cold pressing. The content of carotene in seed oil obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction was 100850 μg/100 g.

Key words: supercritical carbon dioxide, seabuckthorn seed oil, α-VE, carotene
