Abstract:Ultrasonic extraction of oil from Xanthoceras sorbifolia kernel was studied with orthogonal method. The influencing factors, such as particle size, extraction time, ratio of material to solvent and ultrasonic power were researched in the experiment. The optimal conditions were obtained as follows: the particle size 0.5 mm, extraction time 90 min, ratio of material to solvent 1:5 (w/v) and ultrasonic power 175 W, the oil composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The present study provides a scientific reference for the potential raw material of biodiesel from Xanthoceras sorbifolia kernel oil.
