Comparative Analysis of Pretreatment Methods for Processing Bulk Flax and Hemp Oilseeds Under Uniaxial Compression by Abraham Kabutey, Sonia Habtamu Kibret, Asmerom Woldemichael Kiros, Meseret Abraham Afework, Michael Onwuka, Akshay Raj

“…The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of oven and vacuum pretreatment techniques at drying temperatures between 40 °C and 90 °C and a constant heating time of 60 min on the oil yield, energy output, and compressive stress of bulk flax and hemp oilseeds samples. The results showed that heating temperatures linearly increased the amounts of oil yield but did not correlate linearly with energy requirement. …”
