The extraction of oil from Mudong bayberry (Myrica rubra) kernels was performed using the organic solvent leaching method. The extraction time, liquid/solid ratio, and temperature were optimized by the response surface methodology. The fatty acid content of kernel oil was also analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the optimal extraction time, liquid/solid ratio, and temperature for oil yield were 140 min, 7.5:1(v/w), and 48.5°C, respectively. Under optimum conditions, the oil yield was 62.52% (w...
