Project Report On Extraction Of Apricot Oil (CHULLI)

Apricot stones/seeds otherwise thrown as a waste were utilized for extraction of oil for both edible and pharmaceutical purposes. Apricot fruits containing 11.7-22.2% stones with about 32% kernels give an oil yield of 46.1-47.2%. The use of mechanical decorticator was found appropriate with decortication capacity of 120-139 kg/h against manual crushing of only 3.8-4.5 kg/h. Specific gravity separation method consisting of dipping decorticated shells and kernels in 25% salt solution was found optimum for separation of kernels. The use of table oil expeller with an oil yield of 38-40% and filtration through oil filter press was optimized. Packaging of oil containing 0.02% TBHQ (tertiary butyl hydroquinone) in amber coloured plastic/glass bottles was found most appropriate. The quality of apricot oil for iodine value (100.3-111.5 gl/100g), saponification value (190.6-193.5 mg KOH/g (potassium hydroxide/g) and acid value (2.58-4.31 mg KOH/g) was well within the minimum specifications of PFA (Prevention of Food Adulteration Act) for almond oil. Owing to the presence of essential fatty acids (linoleic (27.76%) and linolenic acid (1.42%)) and vitamin E (430-438 pg/g) in appreciable proportion, the oil possessed good nutritional and pharmaceutical significance. On the basis of standardized method for oil extraction, four oil extraction units have been established in apricot growing areas of Himachal Pradesh for technology demonstration and providing service to the farmers. The cost of production including 20% profit margins works out to be Rs. 288 per kg oil however the market price of the oil is Rs. 300 per kg oil. Thus, the method of oil extraction appears to be quite cost effective for its adoption at cottage scale.
