Abstract

Samples of crushed and cooked canola seeds (Okapy Double Zero) were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) at 34 MPa and 40ºC and a commercial organic solvent (AW406). The oil solubility in SCCO2 was determined and extracted oils were examined with respect to their chlorophyll contents, nonsaponifiable matters, fatty acid composition and iodine value. The yield of SCCO2 extraction was significantly (P
