Description

Dolaya Sadubsarn and Rattana Muangrat optimized a green method for extracting oil from crickets with pressurized carbon dioxide, in a 2025 study. Cricket oil is a valued product, and the supercritical method avoids harsh solvents. The team varied temperature, pressure, and extraction time, then used a response surface design to find the best mix.

Oil yield ran from about 9 to 16 percent across the runs. The best setting, the hottest temperature with mid pressure and the longest time, gave near 16 percent yield with good quality marks. The oil's main fats were palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids. The authors then tested how well the oil keeps, with standard food antioxidants added.
