Solvent extraction is the most efficient technique for extracting oils of higher quality for prospective industrial and commercial applications. Here, we present a protocol for extracting oil from Ghana shea nuts using this technique. We describe steps for drying and milling kernels; oil extraction, including the kinetic and thermodynamic processes; and filtration. We then detail procedures for solvent recovery and oil storage. This protocol has the potential for use in industrial and commercial settings for oil extraction. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Alale et al..
溶剂萃取是提取高质量油脂以用于未来工业和商业应用的最有效技术。在此，我们展示了一种使用该技术从加纳乳木果中提取油脂的方案。我们描述了果仁干燥和研磨的步骤；油脂提取，包括动力学和热力学过程；以及过滤。然后我们详细说明了溶剂回收和油脂储存的程序。该方案有潜力用于工业和商业环境中的油脂提取。有关该方案使用和执行的完整详细信息，请参考阿拉莱等人的研究。
