ABSTRACT Aqueous enzymatic extraction of oil from _Balanites aegyptiaca_ (desert date) kernel was optimized using a mixture of four enzymes (alcalase, cellulase, viscozyme L and protease). The physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of the oil obtained by enzyme assisted aqueous extraction and byorganic solvent extraction were compared. Using 2% of each enzyme and 1:10 of water‐to‐kernel flour ratio, the ... Read more
