Abstract
BACKGROUND: Amaranthus sp. is a fast-growing crop with well-known beneficial nutritional values (rich in protein, fat, dietary
fiber, ash, and minerals, especially calcium and sodium, and containing a higher amount of lysine than conventional cereals).
Amaranthus sp. is an underexploited plant source of squalene, a compound of high importance in the food, cosmetic and
pharmaceutical industries.
RESULTS: This paper has examined the effects of the different extraction methods (Soxhlet, supercritical fluid and accelerated
solvent extraction) on the oil and squalene yield of three genotypes of Amaranthus sp. grain. The highest yield of the extracted
oil (78.1 g kg−1 ) and squalene (4.7 g kg−1 ) in grain was obtained by accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) in genotype 16. Post
hoc Tukey’s HSD test at 95% confidence limit showed significant differences between observed samples. Principal component
analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were used for assessing the effect of different genotypes and extraction methods on
oil and squalene yield, and also the fatty acid composition profile. Using coupled PCA and CA of observed samples, possible
directions for improving the quality of product can be realized.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that it is very important to choose both the right genotype and the right method
of extraction for optimal oil and squalene yield.
