How are lipids extracted from sunflower seeds?
The methods used for lipid extraction have been theconventional ISO extraction Soxhlet method (SO) and the mechanical oil press method (PO). These methods have been investigated on 14 Roumanian genotypes of sunflower seeds (10 inbred lines and 4 sunflower hybrids).
