Abstract
In this study, the effect of solvent ratio of hexane to isopropanol (0:100, 50:50, and 100:0 v/v%), microwave power (180, 540, and 900 W) and extraction time (1, 2.5, and 4 min) were investigated on the oil extraction efficiency, total phenol content, DPPH radical scavenging, peroxide value and oil color index. Extraction conditions were optimized by response surface methodology and Box–Behnken Design. The optimal conditions were obtained as hexane-to-isopropanol ratio of approximately 3:2, microwave power of 450 W and the extraction time of 1 min. Then, the hemp seed oil was extracted under the optimal conditions. The optimal predicted contents for oil yield (26.34%), total phenolics (3.85 mg GA/g oil), DPPH inhibition (74.29%), peroxide (3.94 meq/kg) and Color index (58.13) were agreed with the predicted conditions because the Resident standard error (RSE) values were less than 5%.
