Abstract

Torreya grandis seed oil (TGSO) extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide was explored from the extraction conditions, fatty acid composition, its oxidative stability and antioxidant activity in a bench-scale apparatus. An L9(34) orthogonal design was applied to optimize extraction parameters. The results demonstrated that the maximum yield of 94.57 % was obtained at 45 MPa, 4 h and 50 °C. There were 18 kinds of compounds found within TGSO; the predominant ingredient was linoleic acid (42.02 %), followed by oleic acid (32.14 %) and dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (9.80 %). The IC50 values for 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino) hexane radical (DPPH), hydroxyl radical (HO•) and superoxide radical (O2 ·−) were 5.61, 3.16 and 4.20 mg/mL, respectively.
