Acylglycerol composition of edible oils

Other extraction methods used in the lipid extraction include supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). With SEE, good extraction yields have been obtained for nonpolar lipids including ester-ified fatty acids, acylglycerols, and unsaponifiable matter. However, complex polar lipids are only sparingly soluble in supercritical carbon dioxide alone and polar modifiers, such as methanol, ethanol, or even water is required to improve the extraction of polar lipids (10). SFE has been used for the extraction of lipids especially from various food matrices, such as different nuts, edible oils, and seeds (11). The recoveries of lipids in SFE were on the same levels than with conventional solvent extraction methods (12,13), no significant differences between the fatty acids extracted were observed. PLE has also been used in lipid extraction, although only in very few applications (14). The elevated temperatures used in PLE can cause alteration of the lipid composition.
