  Sapota Seed Oil

  By C V Subrahmanyam, D. Kamalakar

  Abstract: The objective of this work was to extract and determine the chemical composition of oil obtained from sapota seed fruits that are grown in India and characterize it. The sapota seed oil was extracted from kernel using different solvents viz., (a) carbon tetra chloride, (b) n-hexane and (c) toluene for eight extractions or stages. Nearly, 20–23% of oil yield was obtained. The oil has acid value – 4.11 to 9.5, …

  Optimization of Reaction Parameters for the Production of Fatty Acids from Rice Bran Oil

  By C V Subrahmanyam, K. Siva Prasada Rao

  Abstract: Fatty acids are usually produced industrially by the hydrolysis of triglycerides and glycerol as by product. In this reaction, 1 molecule of fat/oil will react with 3 molecules of water. The hydrolysis can be done by with and without catalyst. The catalyst process has some inherent problems. To get better quality of fatty acids and high yield the most of the industries preferring the hydrolysis without catalyst. The present study …
