Extracción de aceite de cuatro diferentes tipos de fruto de la palma híbrida (coarí x lamé) utilizando dos tipos de disolvente éter de petróleo y cloroformo en el cantón Quinindé.

At this research work, the extraction of oil from hybrid palm (Coari x LaMe) was carried out, using four different types of fruits: normal fruits, parthenocarpic fruits, fruits aborted by bad pollination and aborted fruits by genetics, to extract oil from each one of the fruits, with the use of two solvents such as petroleum ether and chloroform, taking the number of loose fruits in the bunch as reference of the ripening index. The bunch was taken to the development and research department of Extractora Palmera de los Andes S.A., where the humidity, density, percentage of oil in the fruit, extraction rate, oil potential and yield were obtained. As a result it was observed that the fruit with the highest humidity was fruitaborted by genetics with an initial humidity of 74.07% and a final humidity of 62.96%, density remained average within INEN standard with 0.89 g/ml. The fruit with the highest percentage of oil, was normal fruit with a percentage of 67.16% with maturity stage of 20 to 25 loose fruit and as solvent chloroform (A0B2C0), on the other hand an oil extraction rate (OER) was obtained from the highest treatment (A3B1C1) of 96. 31% having a difference of 0.86% from average percentage which was 95.45%, and in oil potential the highest average was 96.68 at treatment (A1B1C0), on yield an overall average of 4.98 ml was reached having as treatment with the highest yield (A0B2C0) with 8.05 ml average, thus having that the best solvent to extract the red oil is chloroform.
