Extraction of atili (blackdate) oil from the pulp using aqueous biphase system
In this research, Atili (blackdate) oil (Canarium Schweinfurthii) was extracted from the pulp using aqueous biphasic system (ABS) prepared from fixed concentration (40%) of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and varying concentrations of salt (di-sodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4)) at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% respectively. The partitioning of the atil...
