An Evaluation of the Equilibrium Properties in Hexane and Ethanol Extractive Systems for <i>Moringa oleifera</i> Seeds and Fatty Acid Profiles of the Extracts

Until the present, oilseed extractions have been mainly performed using hexane: a toxic, non-sustainable solvent. Extraction methods using ethanol have recently been proposed and, to evaluate the suitability of ethanol as an alternative solvent, Moringa seeds with an oil content as high as 40% have...
