Abstract
As an alternative method, enzymatic extraction was applied to recover oil from the seeds of Alexandrian laurel or vutalao (Calophyllum inophyllum). Three crude enzymes (xylanase, a-amylase and cellulase) were used singly and in a combination for the extraction process. The enzyme mixture for maximum oil recovery was determined by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) employing simplex lattice design. Results showed that the means of oil recovery using the 3 different enzymes that had been applied singly were significantly different. Mixture optimization showed that the maximum recovery was achieved using 1:1 binary mix of xylanase and cellulase or using 1:1 binary mix of xylanase and a-amylase. Both of these mixes have a desirability index vary close to 1, with an oil recovery of 97%.
