What is the role of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) in the extraction of Actinostemma lobatum kernel oil?

Label:chem

Topic
A study evaluates the use of 2-MeTHF as a bio-based solvent for extracting oil from Actinostemma lobatum kernels, comparing its performance to conventional petroleum-derived solvents like n-hexane and 2-methylpentane.
Answer
2-MeTHF achieves significantly higher oil yields (27.60% in 2021 and 29.77% in 2022) compared to n-hexane and 2-methylpentane. However, oils extracted with 2-MeTHF are more susceptible to oxidation, showing higher levels of primary and secondary oxidation products.
