Comparison of different extraction methods of Brazilian "pacová" ( Gagnep.) oilseeds for the determination of lipid and terpene composition, antioxidant capacity, and inhibitory effect on neurodegenerative enzymes.

Pacová ( Gagnep.) is a Brazilian native plant, usually cultivated in south regions of the country. Pacová was previously reported concerning their possible health benefits, mostly from folk medicine.

A comparative and economic study of the extraction of oil from Baru () seeds by supercritical CO with and without mechanical pressing.

The present study evaluated the effect of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) assisted by cold pressing (SFEAP) on the overall yield, extraction kinetics, composition of baru seed oil and manufacturing cost (COM). The best extraction conditions were determined in extraction assays combining different pressures (150-350 bar) and temperatures (35 and 45 °C). The extraction yield by SFEAP (28.
