| 20080207932 | Kiwifruit Oil Extraction Method And Product - A process of producing kiwifruit seed oil involves first sterilizing the picked and selected ripe kiwifruit by flame, chlorine wash, or ozone impregnated water wash, followed by a fresh water rinse. The fruit is then cut using a water laser to minimize seed damage. Next the skin is separated from the fruit. Then the pulp is gently separated from the seed ensuring minimal seed coat damage. The resulting seed is cleaned whilst ensuring minimal seed coat damage. Then seed is then dried using cool temperature drying. The seed is stored at a cool temperature until it is needed for oil extraction. Crushing of the seed takes place immediately prior to the super critical extraction process. Super critical extraction using liquid carbon dioxide extracts the kiwifruit oil from the crushed seeds. The oil is the stabilized using a natural antioxidant such as rosemary oil. The stabilized oil can then be (a) encapsulated into soft cap gelatin capsules or (b) emulsified and then dried onto a carrier base using a cold temperature drying process or (c) used in the production of a food product. | 08-28-2008 |
