%0 Journal Article %T Evaluation of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction Method and Some Conventional Extraction Methods for The Determination of Fatty Acid Content from Peganum harmala L. Seed %J - %D 2018 %X The seeds of Peganum harmala L. (Syrian rue) (Zygophyllaceae) are commonly known to be ˇ°Harmalˇ± or ˇ°Uzerlikˇ± among the Turkish people. This study aims to compare with both SC-CO2 extraction (at constant temperature conditions of 45oC at 100, 200, 300 and 400 bar pressure) and some conventional extraction methods (ethanol, hexane, and dimethyl ether), and investigate the effects of extracting pressure parameters on SC-CO2 extraction. As a result of the studies; it has been concluded that the SC-CO2 extraction method is very advantageous in obtaining fatty acids from the P.harmala L. seed and that the pressure and temperature calibrations of the SC-CO2 extraction device must be performed. It has been observed that a pressure of 400 bar is suitable for obtaining the highest fatty acid extracts of (C15:0), (C16:1), (C17:0), (C18:3) and saturated fatty, while a pressure of 100 bar is suitable for obtaining the highest fatty acid extracts such as (C14:0), (C18:1), and (C18:2) %K Peganum harmala L. %K superkritik CO2 ektraksiyon %U http://dergipark.org.tr/mkuzfd/issue/41577/489174
