Abstract
The objective of this work was to develop efficient methods to increase the extraction yield of bioactive components from passion fruit seed oil. The extraction kinetics with hexane/ethanol/water solvents for the chemical process and with lipase together with these solvents for the chemical + enzymatic process was assessed, considering different extraction times and temperatures. It was verified that the chemical extractions were the most efficient conditions at temperature of 30°C and at 5 min, 15 min, and 24 h of extraction time and at temperature of 45°C for only 2.5 min of extraction time. It was found that chemical together with enzymatic extraction had lower yields than chemical extraction. Regarding mathematical modeling, it was found that the best fits were represented by first order, So and MacDonald's and hyperbolic models, whose results indicate that these equations can be applied to simulation and design studies.
