Extraction modeling, kinetics, and thermodynamics of solvent extraction of Irvingia gabonensis kernel oil, for possible industrial application

Abstract The effects of the temperature, time, and particle size, in addition to the kinetics and thermodynamics parameters, of Irvingia gabonensis kernel oil (IGKO) yield were investigated. The highest oil yield of 68.80% (by weight) was obtained at 55°C, 150 minutes, and 0.5 mm. The evaluated phys...
