Quality of Edible Sesame Oil as Obtained by Green Solvents: In Silico versus Experimental Screening Approaches.

The present study aimed to investigate the qualitative and quantitative performance of five green solvents, namely 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MeTHF), cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), -cymene, -limonene and ethanol to substitute -hexane, for sesame seed oil extraction. In fact, both CPME and MeTHF gave higher crude yields than -hexane (58.82, 54.
