Proximate analysis of oil cakes after processing of cold-press oil

The waste or by-product that remains after the extraction of oil from the seed is called meal or cake. Owing to its composition, these materials can have different biotechnological applications, such as production of enzymes (lipase, cellulase), antibiotics, mushrooms, vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, organic acids, single-cell proteins, biologically active secondary metabolites, etc. In order to enlarge the current knowledge on different cold-press oil cakes composition, the present study aim to determine the composition of three different cold-press oil cakes: hull-less pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.), flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and hemp (Canabis sativa L.). Contents of dry matter, ash, total and soluble proteins, ether extracts, neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), total organic carbon (TOC), total carbohydrates, simple sugars, total polyphenols and simple phenolic compounds were thoroughly analysed.
