Overview

Comparative analysis shows supercritical extraction enhances fatty acids in pomegranate seed oil, indicating greater sustainability.

Key Points

  • Supercritical extraction increased yield by about 18%, enhancing specific fatty acids in pomegranate seed oil.
  • Punicic acid was confirmed as the dominant fatty acid in both extraction methods by GC-MS and NMR analyses.
  • Analysis using HS-SPME-GC-MS showed supercritical extracts had more volatile organic compounds than Soxhlet extracts.
  • This method highlights the potential of pomegranate seed oil in nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and food applications.
