Abstract The enzymatic method was employed to extract oil from alfalfa seeds.The ratio of compound enzymes and the optimal technique parameters of the oil extraction were determined by orthogonal tests.Results: The compound enzymes are formulated as AS1398 neutral protease dosage 0.4%,α-amylase dosage 0.5% and pectinase dosage 0.5%,material water ratio is 1:10,enzymolysis temperature is 50 ℃,and enzymolysis time is 6 h.The extraction rate reaches 11.23%.The extracted oil contains many kinds of fatty acid,linoleic acid 15.38%,oleic acid 14.45%,linonenic acid 11.20%,stearic acid 23.25%,and palmitic acid 10.24%.The physical and chemical properties of the alfalfa seed oil were studied.It is indicated that enzymatic extraction of oil from alfalfa seeds is feasible.
