Background:

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) kernels are a valuable byproduct of stone fruit processing.
Apricot kernel oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acids, phenols, and tocopherols.
Oil yield and quality are influenced by geographical origin, cultivar, and extraction methodology.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and compare conventional and novel oil extraction methods for apricot kernels.
To evaluate the efficiency, environmental impact, and nutritional retention of different extraction techniques.
To provide insights into optimizing oil recovery from apricot kernels.

Main Methods:

Literature review of apricot kernel characterization and oil extraction techniques.
Analysis of conventional methods (e.g., solvent extraction, mechanical pressing).
Evaluation of novel methods: microwave-assisted, ultrasound-assisted, enzyme-assisted, and supercritical fluid extraction.

Main Results:

Novel extraction technologies offer efficient oil recovery with reduced environmental impact.
Microwave-assisted, ultrasound-assisted, enzyme-assisted, and supercritical fluid extraction are promising eco-friendly alternatives.
Optimized extraction techniques minimize nutritional losses and preserve organoleptic properties.

Conclusions:

Advanced extraction methods enhance apricot kernel oil yield and quality.
Environmentally friendly techniques are crucial for sustainable apricot kernel oil production.
Selecting appropriate extraction methods is key to maximizing oil recovery and maintaining product integrity.
