Key Findings
- The study by ICAR-Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering explored microwave pre-treatment to improve mustard oil extraction
- Microwave pre-treatment significantly increased the amount of oil that could be extracted from mustard seeds
- Hyperspectral imaging showed high accuracy in predicting oil content and fatty acid composition after microwave treatment
