Comparative Characterization of Phenolic Compounds, Fatty Acid Profile, and Antioxidant Activity of Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) Oil Obtained Using Conventional and Green Extraction Methods
Pecan oil is a valuable source of unsaturated fatty acids and bioactive compounds whose recovery and stability may be influenced by the extraction process. This study compared Soxhlet extraction (SE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and supercritical CO2 extraction (sCO2) in terms of extraction yield, fatty acid...
