A Novel Processing Approach for Rapeseed and Mustard Seed-Removal of Undesirable Constituents by Methanol-Ammonia.

An overview of a novel two-phase solvent-extraction system developed for treatment of rapeseed and mustard seed in our laboratories will be presented. In this process, the polar phase consisted of a lower alkanol containing 5% water (v/v) and 10% ammonia (w/w). The non-polar phase was hexane.
