Conference Paper Description

The optimum process for extracting avocado oil from avocado pulp was studied by using water method. The effects of material-liquid ratio, temperature, and time and pH value on oil extraction rate and oil recovery rate were studied. The optimum extraction conditions of avocado oil were determined by orthogonal test, and the physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition were analysed. The results showed: material-liquid ratio of 1:3 g/mL, extraction temperature of 75 °C, extraction time of 150 min, pH of 8 could be obtained on the optimal extraction conditions, and the oil extraction rate and the oil recovery rate of avocado oil were 78.95%, 37.21%, respectively. The acid value of avocado oil is 0.86 mg / g, the iodine value is 154.41 g / 100g, the saponification value is 198.0 g / 100g, water and volatile matter is 0.13%. The main fatty acid composition of avocado oils were oleic acid (71.93%), palmitic acid (13.33%), linoleic acid (8.51%), palm oil Acid (5.28%), total unsaturated fatty acid content 85.72%.
