Özet

Rose hip seeds are generally wasted; that is, they are crushed and used for animal nutrition or burned in spite of their high value. In fact, the valuable oil can be extracted from these seeds and they can be used for medicinal purposes (i.e. against contact dermatitis and for its anticonflict action). In this study, several oil extraction methods such as traditional pressing, solvent extraction methods (e.g. soxhlet, ultrasound, microwave extraction with hexane), and supercritical fluid extraction are investigated for obtaining oil from rose hip seeds.
