A new method of extraction of oils from oleaginous seeds was developed. This method is based on the use of aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol sorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20). Compared with existing methods, the new technique is rapid and enviroµmentally friendly. In addition, the obtained oil by this method has the same physicochemical properties and similar composition as those obtained by the classical method with a better antioxidant potential revealed by DPPH test.
