<p>Extraction of apricot kernel oil (AKO) was studied using microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and the effects of solvent type, extraction temperature, solid-to-solvent (S/S) ratio, and exposure time were evaluated.

摘要

Extraction of apricot kernel oil (AKO) was studied using microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and the effects of solvent type, extraction temperature, solid-to-solvent (S/S) ratio, and exposure time were evaluated. An advanced microwave-assisted extraction system was used to provide precise temperature control during extraction and to substantially reduce solvent use. The operational parameters, such as temperature, exposure time, and S/S ratio, were optimized for the highest oil recovery and retention of antioxidant properties using response surface methodology. Under optimized MAE conditions, such as treatment temperature (60 °C), microwave exposure time (come-up + holding, 50 min), and S/S ratio (1:8.5), the highest oil yield and antioxidant activity were 43.19% and 72.22%, respectively. Soxhlet extraction (SX) was used as the reference method, yielding 50.28% oil and an AA of 43.12%. The quality attributes of AKO obtained by both MAE and SX methods were determined and compared to check the significant effect of the extraction method. The extracted AKO-MAE was rich in total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, tocopherol content, and pigment contents. However, no significant difference was observed between AKO-MAE and AKO-SX in terms of fatty acid composition, FTIR analysis, and properties such as refractive index, chlorophyll, and tocopherols-α & δ contents. The substantially shorter extraction time, lower solvent consumption, and higher oil quality demonstrate the potential of microwave-assisted extraction as a revolutionary, ecologically friendly technique for future oil processing.
