Description
Katja Schoss and co-authors compared three ways to extract oil from the seeds of six plants, in a 2024 study. Oils from pumpkin, flax, linden, poppy, apricot, and marigold seeds were tested. Methods were pressurized carbon dioxide extraction, a solvent method, and cold pressing. Such oils serve cosmetics, foods, and medicines.
The pressurized method won for four of the six plants, above all for seeds low in oil. Cold pressing stayed a good option for oil-rich apricot seeds. Fatty acid makeup barely differed between methods. The pressurized method raised the content of plant sterols, notably in pumpkin oil. Protective power varied widely across the oils, with pumpkin again on top. Certain compounds tracked with that protective power in their analysis.
