Comprehensive Investigations into the Oil Extraction Process of Yellowish and Blackish Sesame Varieties, Parameters Optimization, and Absorbance Spectra Characteristics.

ABSTRACT: The demand for sesame oil is increasing due to its nutritious and medicinal qualities and industrial applications such as biodiesel production. Mechanical oil extraction is commonly used although yield is lower. Roasting conditions could improve oil yield. The present study investigated heating conditions (temperature: 40, 50, and 60 °C and time: 15, 30, and 45 min) on oil extraction parameters of yellowish and blackish sesame varieties under a screw pressing operation based on a factorial design involving twenty-six experimental runs. The determined amounts of moisture content of yellowish and blackish sesame samples were 3.49 ± 0.19% w.b. and 6.69 ± 0.07% w.b. In that order, the oil contents of the samples were 38.73 ± 2.61% and 45.31 ± 6.51%. The overall optimal factor levels for explai
