extraction process | existing research on the extraction methods of avocado oil, such as centrifugation, pressing, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, Aqueous Enzymatic extraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, etc. In 1.1999, a new extraction technology was developed by a New Zealand head and a food research specialist at the University of New Zealand, using a cold-press technique without the addition of chemicals. 2. Subcritical (butane, etc.) low-temperature extraction the whole production process of this method is carried out at low temperature, the nutrient content of the material will not be damaged, and the yield is high, and the product phase is good. |
