Green solvents offer promising alternatives to n-hexane for sustainable vegetable oil extraction. This study evaluated ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate for extracting oils from avocado pulp (AP), rice bran (RB), and soybean flakes (SF), focusing on oil quality and defatted meal properties. lnγ obtained by COSMO-SAC showed tendencies for effective interactions with solutes.

The extraction of oil and starch from avocado pulp and seeds represents an efficient way to add value to an abundant but low-value byproduct. The integration of these components in the production of films for use as bioactive and biodegradable packaging is an innovative strategy to reduce the generation of agricultural waste and the use of conventional plastics, which are directly associated with serious environmental problems. In this context, the objective of this work was to develop and characterize biodegradable films using starch extracted from avocado seeds at different concentrations (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 g/100 mL) and glycerol (30 % w/w starch) with subsequent incorporation of avocado essential oil (20 %).

This study evaluated the influence of aqueous extraction (AE) parameters (temperature, mechanical agitation, and time) on the yield, total phenolic content, and acidity of avocado oil from the Breda variety. The best conditions were then applied to five other Brazilian varieties. Significant differences were observed in oil yield and composition.
