It can be cultivated both in winter and spring season, having a remarkable capacity to adapt and resist to difficult climate conditions. Moreover, Camelina crop has shown resistance to pests and diseases which affect other crops from the same family. The synthesis of phytoalexins seems to be responsible for the unusual camelina defense system. Camelina oil is the main product resulted by extraction from seeds. The most common extraction methods are: mechanical extraction, solvent extraction and enzymatic extraction. Recently it has been considered also the supercritical-CO2 extraction. The oil obtained contains an unsaponifiable fraction represented by tocopherols, sterols and a saponifiable fraction consisting in fatty acids. The fatty acids profile is mainly represented by unsaturated fatty acids- mono and mostly polyunsaturated (>55%) and saturated fatty acids (9.1-10.8%). The most frequent fatty acids from camelina oil are linolenic, linoleic, oleic and eicosenoic. In comparison with other Brassicaceae plants, camelina oil has a low content of erucic acid. Camelina oil, due to its composition, has multiple uses in various industries: feed technology for substitution or supplementation of other oils (fish, broilers) in animal diets, biodiesel production, jet fuel production, biopolymer industry (peel adhesion properties, paints, varnishes), cosmetic industry (skin-conditioning agent), in food products due to its high omega-3 fatty acid content and low erucic acid content and as milk fat substitution. Key words: Camelina oil, extraction, fatty acids INTRODUCTION Berti et al., 2016), winter varieties showing a high resistance to harsh climate conditions Camelina, scientifically named Camelina sativa (Berti et al., 2016). is a dicotyledonous oil seeded plant belonging Camelina cultivation requires low water and to Brassicaceae family. It is originated from fertilizers compared with other crops from the Southern Europe and South-West of Asia same family and the crop is more resistant to (Dobre et al., 2014; Vollmann et al., 2015; common pests and pathogens which usually Berti et al., 2016). affect similar crops (Kim et al., 2015). Its Morphologically, camelina has a smooth or resistance may result due to synthetizing of hairy steam, whose height may be between 65 phytoalexins (Vollmann et al., 2001). and 110 cm. The steam is ramified and as it Moreover, it was noted the adaptability of reaches maturity, it becomes woody. The camelina to different medium conditions (Berti arrow-shaped leaves, with smooth to wavy et al., 2016) and its capacity to grow in edges, are 5-8 cm long. Most of the flowers, marginal lands (Kim et al., 2015, Petre et al., with 5-7 mm diameter, are autogamous. The 2015). very small seeds are kept in silicules (Berti et In Romania, both the climate and the soil are al., 2016). favorable for camelina cultivation (Imbrea et Archeological evidences proving camelina al., 2011). existence in Europe show that its cultivation was performed since 4000 (BCE). In Romania, CAMELINA OIL EXTRACTION the camelina use is associated with the period of transition from Eneolithic to Bronze Age The principal camelina oil seed extraction (Berti et al., 2016). methods are: mechanical extraction, solvent Camelina is an annual crop which can be extraction and enzymatic extraction (Atabani, cultivated both in spring and in winter seasons 2013). (Gesch and Archer, 2013, Dobre et al., 2014 233 The oldest method used for oil extraction from Belayneh et al. (2015) compared the seeds is hydraulic pressing. It was first used in composition of oil obtained using 3 different Europe, in 1795. This method was replaced, in extraction methods: classical extractions by time, by the extraction using screw presses Soxhlet and cold pressing and supercritical- (Rosenthal et al., 1996). Nowadays, manual CO2 extraction. The extraction yields obtained ram press or engine driven screw are the most were: 35.9%-Soxhlet extraction with hexane frequently used (Atabani et al., 2013). during 6 hours, 29.9%-cold pressing extraction, The mechanical extraction doesn’t require respectively 31.6%- supercritical-CO2. The last special resources, but the oil obtained must be mentioned method showed a high efficiency subjected to additional processing like filtration regarding oil recovery-88% of the quantity and degumming (Atabani et al., 2013). recovered normally with hexane extraction. Another important aspect to be taken into There were no significant differences between consideration when choosing mechanical the compositions of the three oils. extraction is the fact that the equipment is The supercritical-CO2 extraction advantages adapted to certain types of seeds, which has an are: supercritical-CO2 is a cheap and easy to impact over the extraction yield. The seeds pre- find (Moslavac et al., 2014) green solvent treatment have also an impact on the extraction (Belayneh et al., 2015), it is easy to remove (Atabani et al., 2013). from products, it allows solvent recovery The solvent extraction was first used in 1870, consecutive to other extraction methods. The in Europe. In its beginnings the method was main disadvantage of this method is the high rarely used, but with time it has become a large price of the required equipment (Moslavac et scale process. The method can be used to al., 2014). complete the mechanical extraction (Rosenthal, The main advantage of cold pressing is that it 1996). doesn’t require organic solvents. The oil Using solvent extraction, a high yield may be obtained retains the valuable bioactive obtained, making it a favorable option for oil compounds such as: fatty acids, phenols, production at large scale. Several factors, such flavonoids, tocopherols, minerals, fibers and as particle size, extraction solvent, temperature, many others (Moslavac et al., 2014). One of stirring may influence the yields obtained with this method disadvantages is the low extraction this method (Atabani et al., 2013). Moser et al. efficiency compared to the classical solvent (2010) obtained a yield of 30.5 wt% oil from extraction. dried seeds with hexane extraction by Soxhlet The high quantity of antioxidants (tocopherols) method for 24 h. in the raw oil is a major advantage regarding its The enzymatic extraction does not produce time stability. Raw oil has a life span of 12-24 neither pollutant solvents, harmful for the months compared with the one highly environment, nor chemical substances processed through refining, bleaching, dangerous for human health, which is deodorization, which has a life span of 6-9 considered a big advantage. On the other hand, months (Berti et al., 2016). one of the disadvantages of this method is the Cold pressing is affected by temperature, fact that it is time consuming (Atabani et al., frequency and press nozzles size. Researchers 2013). have tried to optimize the camelina oil Several techniques can be used for the extraction by cold pressing. The best results extraction of camelina oil such as: warm or were obtained when using a temperature of cold mechanical pressing extraction, organic 52oC, a frequency of 20 Hz and nozzle size of 9 solvent extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction mm. In this optimal conditions, 289.5 ml of (Berti et al., 2016). camelina oil with a temperature of 32.6 oC were Berti et al.

Crantz, (Brassicaceae), commonly known as false flax, leindotter and gold of pleasure, is a fall or spring planted annual oilcrop species (Putman et al. 1993). This versatile crop has been cultivated in Europe since the Bronze Age. Camelina seed was found in the stomach of Tollund man, a 4th century BCE mummy recovered from a peat bog in Denmark (Glob 1969). Anthropologists postulate that the man’s last meal had been a soup made from vegetables and seeds including barley, linseed, camelina, knotweed, bristle grass, and chamomile. The Romans used camelina oil as massage oil, lamp fuel, and cooking oil, as well as the meal for food or feed. Camelina, like many Brassicaceae, germinates and emerges in the early spring, well before most cereal grains. Early emergence has several advantages for dryland production including efficient utiliza- tion of spring moisture and competitiveness with common weeds. In response to the resurgent interest in oil crops for sustainable biofuel production, the Montana State Uni- versity (MSU) Agricultural Research Centers have conducted a multi-year, multi-specie oilseed trial. This trial included nine different oilseed crops (sunflower, safflower, soybean, rapeseed, mustard, flax, crambe, canola, and camelina). Camelina sativa emerged from this trial as a promising oilseed crop for production across Montana and the Northern Great Plains.

A split-plot design, with sowing date as main plot (autumn and spring) and cultivar (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, and CELINE) as subplot, was adopted over two growing seasons (2017–2019). Phenology, yield and yield components, protein and oil content, and fatty acid profile were evaluated. Going from autumn to spring sowing, a significant reduction was observed in the number of days (139 vs. 54 days) and GDD (642 vs. 466 ◦C d) from emergence to beginning of flowering, with more consistent variations among cultivars. V1 and V2 were the earlier ones both in spring and autumn sowing. Autumn sowing increased seed yield (+18.0%), TSW (+4.1%), number of siliques per plant (+47.2%), contents of α-linolenic, eicosenoic, erucic and eicosadienoic acids, and polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio. Regarding genotype, V3 showed the best seed and oil yield in autumn, whereas V1 and CELINE were the best performing in spring.

Hartman, Ph.D Camelina sativa (L).Crantz also known as false flax, Dutch flax is an ancient oil seed crop that belongs to the Brassicaceae family. Camelina oil pressed from the seeds of this crop has a unique aroma. Eighteen camelina oil samples were analyzed for fatty acid composition (13 unrefined, 2 deodorized and 3 refined samples). Eight of these samples were analyzed for unsaponifiables content, free fatty acids and volatiles and semi-volatile compounds. Seven camelina seed samples were analyzed for volatile and semi-volatile compounds as well to determine the suitability of these products in animal feed formulations. Fatty acid composition was obtained by the trans-esterification of the triacylglycerols in the oil to their methyl esters and 21 different fatty acids with chain length from C-14 to C-24 were identified. The major fatty acids were α-linolenic, linoleic, oleic, eicosenoic and palmitic acid and three fatty acids, namely tricosanoic, pentadecanoic and heptadecanoic are being first reported here. ii The unsaponifiables fraction in camelina oil samples ranged between 0.45-0.8% and 21 compounds were identified.

  • Camelina D.T
    EM 8953-E • January 2008 Oilseed Crops Camelina D.T. Ehrensing and S.O. Guy History Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is native from Finland to Romania and east to the Ural Mountains. It was first cultivated in northern Europe during the Bronze Age. The seeds were crushed and boiled to release oil for food, medicinal use, and lamp oil. It is still a relatively common weed in much of Europe, known as false flax or gold-of- pleasure. Although it was widely grown in Europe and Russia until the 1940s, camelina was largely displaced by higher-yielding crops after World War II. Its decline in Europe was accelerated by farm subsidy programs that favored the major commodity grain and oilseed crops. In recent years, camelina production has Camelina field in eastern Washington. increased somewhat due to heightened interest in vegetable oils high in omega-3 fatty acids (a principle component of camelina oil). Very little plant breeding or crop production improvement has been done on camelina, so the full potential of this crop has not yet been explored. Since it can be grown with few input costs and under marginal conditions, there is currently a major effort in Montana to produce camelina on a large scale in dryland production as a low-input-cost oilseed. Since canola production is currently prohibited in many parts of Oregon state, Oregon growers are considering growing camelina as an alternative oilseed crop. Daryl T.

Most, but not all, bioactive compounds are soluble in oil. So far, studies have been based analyzing the profile of bioactive compounds only in oil. As part of this work, it was decided to examine the seeds, oil, and pomace of four genotypes of Camelina sativa (three spring genotypes and one winter cultivar). The transmission of bioactive compounds to oil and pomace was compared to their content in seeds. The quantitative profile of selected bioactive compounds was analyzed: eight flavonoid aglycons, 11 phenolic acids, three carotenoids, and 19 fatty acids. As a result of pressing more than 80% of flavonoids entered oil, whereas 20% remained in the pomace. When the content of phenolic acids in seeds and in oil was compared, it turned out that on average 50% of these compounds entered oil.

  • A Comparative Study of Camelina, Canola and Hemp Seed Processing and Products
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CAMELINA, CANOLA AND HEMP SEED PROCESSING AND PRODUCTS by Viive Sarv A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Viive Sarv 2017 A Comparative Study of Camelina, Canola and Hemp Seed Processing and Products Viive Sarv Master of Applied Science Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry University of Toronto 2017 ABSTRACT Processes for the production of protein isolates from Camelina sativa and Cannabis sativa were developed by modifying the procedure used for Brassica napus. Due to the high concentration of mucilage in camelina a water-to seed ratio of 30 had to be used instead of the conventional ratio of 18. A rapid mucilage extraction process using hot, 55⁰C water was developed. The final products were compared to the isolates made from Estonian rapeseed flour and canola. Recovery of the isolates was the highest from the Estonian rapeseed (67%), followed by hemp (65%), canola (29%) and camelina (22%). The hemp PPI had the highest protein concentration, 97%, and favourable colour, texture and flavour. Camelina SPI and mucilage absorbed water and oil completely. Viscosity measurements of dried and redissolved mucilage showed the highest values at natural pH and the viscosity increased rapidly above 1% solids concentration. ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratefulness to Professor Trass and Professor Diosady for the opportunity to work on this project, and for their guidance, advice and support during these years.
