Abstract
Samples of canola seed (Brassica campestris) were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide at 36 MPa and 55 °C. The oil extracts were examined with respect to fatty acid composition and phosphorus content. The fatty acid composition was found to be invariable for most of the extraction period. However, extracts obtained after 80% of the oil was removed from the seed were found to be richer in C22 and C24 fatty acids. This is unlike the hexane extraction process where the fatty acid composition of the oil remains constant throughout the extraction. Phosphorus content of the supercritical extracts was always less than 7 ppm, the detection limits of the system. © 1987, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
