In this study, the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of radish seed oil (RSO) using ethanol
as the solvent was investigated with the aim of ester synthesis by in situ reaction. An …

Green solvents have been explored to replace the application of n-hexane and turn the
extraction into a more sustainable process. In this work, oil was extracted from soybeans …

During the transition to a low carbon economy, techno-economic-environmental analyses of
industrial processes will have increasing relevance. Within this context, the replacement of …

The current procedure of rapeseed oil extraction is based on a first extraction step by
pressing followed by a second extraction step with hexane. This solvent being toxic for the …

Co-solvents can significantly improve ethanol efficiency in vegetable oil extraction, making
their use a viable, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to conventional solvents. The …

Soybean oil extraction using two green solvents was investigated from solvent selection to
thermodynamics: ethyl acetate and 1-butanol. The screening of the solvents was performed …

This work reports the extraction of spent coffee grounds (SCG) oil using supercritical CO 2
plus ethanol (scCO 2+ EtOH) solvent in semi-batch process as an alternative approach to …

Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is the major waste generated by breweries, which contains 20–
