Abstract EN
Algal oil from Spirogyra sp.
was extracted using a combined technology of ultrasonication, three-phase partitioning, and aqueous enzymatic oil extraction.
Ultrasonication was done to rupture the cell wall and papain was used for an easier release of the trapped oil.
The salt concentration for three-phase partitioning, preincubation period with (or without) the protease, and its operational temperature were optimized for a maximum possible yield of the oil and the effect of ultrasonication, and three-phase partitioning with (or without) the protease were studied.
It was found that under optimized conditions at 50% ammonium sulphate concentration using tert-butanol (in 1 : 1, v/v ratio) a presonicated and papain treated algal suspension could produce 24% (w/w, dry weight) oil within few hours which was ten times higher as compared to the oil obtained by Soxhlet extraction using hexane and two times higher than the oil obtained without using the protease.
