| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted to develop an oil extraction method from kinnow peel on the basis of shredding of flavedo layer. Mechanical and Solar drying of peel was performed and drying kinetics and physico-chemical characteristics were evaluated. Oil was extracted from fresh peel either by using physical or hydrodistillation method alone or in combination whereas only hydrodistillation method was used in case of dried peel. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the oil was done. It was observed that oil yield in physical method was 0.179% with a shredding efficiency and extraction time of 88.94% and 25 minutes respectively. The initial and final moisture content of kinnow peel was 316-354.80% and 7.06-7.4% respectively. Luminous intensity and yellowness of peel decreased significantly (p<0.05) in both mechanical and solar drying. Colour difference (∆E) of kinnow peel ranged from 15.33-18.36. Oil retention capacity, total phenols, flavanols, total antioxidant capacity and swelling index decreased significantly (p<0.05) on drying whereas water retention capacity and solubility increased. Highest oil yield was obtained from hydrodistillation from mechanically dried powder. Colour values of varied significantly (p<0.05) with respect to oil extraction method. Physically extracted oil showed highest redness (a) value and whereas highest yellowness (b) was shown by hydrodistilled oil from fresh peel. Saponification value, acid value, specific gravity, refractive index of oil ranged from 181.73-186.90 mg KOH/ g oil, 3.46-5.023 mg KOH / g oil, 0.803-0.856 and1.352-1.486 respectively. | en_US |
