Experimental data on the effects of temperature, time, and particle size on Irvingia gabonensis kernel oil yield. The study reports a highest oil yield of 68.80% at 55 °C, 150 min, and 0.5 mm particle size, along with physicochemical properties like viscosity and flash point. It was authored by Chinedu M. Agu of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture and sourced from the paperswithcode platform.
Use Cases
- Modeling extraction kinetics based on reported pseudo second order and hyperbolic kinetic model parameters.
- Analyzing the relationship between process parameters (temperature, time, particle size) and oil yield.
- Evaluating the physicochemical suitability of Irvingia gabonensis oil for industrial applications based on reported properties like viscosity and dielectric strength.
- Studying the thermodynamics of an endothermic, spontaneous extraction process using reported ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG values.
Strengths
- Reports a specific, high oil yield of 68.80% under optimal conditions (55 °C, 150 min, 0.5 mm).
- Includes concrete physicochemical property measurements (e.g., viscosity 19.37 mm²s⁻¹, flash point 285 °C).
- Provides specific thermodynamic parameters (ΔH=251.81 KJ/mol, ΔG=-105.49 KJ/mol) for the extraction process.
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
- Data may reflect a specific experimental scope inherent to paperswithcode, limiting generalizability.
