Abstract

This work is aimed to investigate the extraction of sesame seed (Sesamun indicum L.) oil using three different methods (Cold pressing CP, Cold pressing coupled to supercritical fluid extraction CP-SFE and Cold pressing coupled to organic solvent extraction CP-OSE. The results show values of 9.19, 57.15 and 59.52% for CP, CP-SFE and CP-OSE, respectively. CP-SFE was the most efficient method leading to oils with high quality and process residues with minimum remained oil content.
