Process Parameter optimization for protein extraction from defatted neem (Azadirachta Indica) seed cake: Role of particle size, solvent selection and pH
International Journal of Agriculture and Food Science · 2025 · Vol. 7(12) · pp. 226–232
Abstract
Neem (Azadirachta indica) seed cake, a major by-product generated after oil extraction, remains largely underutilized despite its considerable protein content. The present study aimed to optimize protein extraction from defatted neem seed cake by systematically evaluating the effects of particle size, extraction solvent, and precipitation pH. Two particle size fractions (
