For both solvents, the effect of the conditioning process on extraction yield was evaluated. Therefore, a full factorial design was used as a function of four variables: dehulling (with vs . without husks), and thermal treatment of the crushed material (40ºC vs . 75ºC), at different times (5 min vs . 120 min) and pressures (10 kPa vs. 100 kPa). Higher oil yields were obtained with n -hexane when dehulled fruits were conditioned under atmospheric pressure. Better yields were obtained with n -hexane, when dehulled material was treated at 75ºC for 90 min. Ethanol was not adequate for oil extraction from Quercus fruits, since other materials rather than oil were also extracted.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferreira-Dias, Suzana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valente, Dina G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abreu, José M F</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparison between ethanol and hexane for oil extraction from Quercus suber L. fruits</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grasas y Aceites</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">acorns</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ethanol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Extraction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hexane</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oil</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">54</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">378-383</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The aim of this study was to (i) evaluate the feasibility of replacing n -hexane with ethanol for the extraction of oil from Quercus suber fruits and (ii) optimize, at lab scale, sample preparation and extraction time for both solvents used ( n -hexane vs . anhydrous ethanol).
