  • Application of a novel approach to modelling the supercritical extraction kinetics of oil from two sets of chia seeds

    The kinetics of the supercritical fluid extraction of edible and discarded chia seeds was studied and modelled for the first time. The total oil was removed at 45 MPa and 60 degrees C after 240 min. The extraction kinetics was simulated using a dynamic model in gPROMS ModelBuilder environment and the kinetic parameters estimated. Triolein was chosen as a model compound of the chia oil. The agreement between the experimental yields and those calculated by the model was good with deviations in the range (1.2-6.6) %, except at 25 MPa and 60 degrees C (AARD = 9.5%).
