Abstract

The oil from the dried pulp from post-harvest losses from the safou crop (Dacryodes edulis) was extracted with hot water (50/90°C) and magnetic stirring (0/1000 rpm). Over a variation range of 8 to 38 %, the average value of the extraction yield obtained is 21.14%, with an experimental control yield of 25.14%, i.e. a difference of minus 15%. The effects of the factors studied are positive for the “extraction yield” response: extraction temperature (+9.558); extraction time (+2.916) and stirring speed (+2.387). The interactions of order 2 are negligible (X1X2, X1X3) or even zero (X2X3).
