Subcritical propane extraction of high-quality inajá (Maximiliana maripa) pulp oil

The Maximiliana maripa is an important palm tree from Brazilian vegetation whose fruits present oily pulp and kernel. This study aimed at obtaining inajá pulp oil (IPO) by subcritical propane extraction and compare with the conventional Soxhlet extraction. The subcritical propane extractions were performed at different conditions to investigate the effects of temperature and pressure on the yield, chemical composition, and bioactive compounds of...
