Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Extraction Processes, Modeling, and Optimization of Oils”, is dedicated to high-quality, scientifically rigorous reviews, research articles, and communications focused on developing and improving oil extraction technologies.
This Special Issue addresses modern strategies and technical advancements in the extraction of edible oils, their applications, and the valorization of oil byproducts and wastes. It includes studies aimed at enhancing extraction efficiency and oil quality through environmentally sustainable and economically viable approaches and the valorization of residues and byproducts from the oil industry.
The scope of this Special Issue covers various methodologies, ranging from conventional techniques to emerging green technologies, supported by modeling and process optimization tools. Contributions exploring challenges in scaling up, life cycle assessments, multifunctional oil developments, and full raw material utilizations are relevant.
This Special Issue provides a platform for disseminating innovative and interdisciplinary research that bridges fundamental knowledge and practical applications across the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biofuel industries.
We look forward to your contributions.
Dr. María Belén Fernández
Guest Editor
