Three of the following raise extraction efficiency. Which lowers it?

Rolling flakes thin enough to crumble

Dehulling the seed

Cooking to thin the oil

Countercurrent solvent contact

  • A.Dehulling the seed
  • B.Cooking to thin the oil
  • C.Countercurrent solvent contact
  • D.Rolling flakes thin enough to crumble

Answer: D

Fines block percolation and slow the extractor badly, so there is a limit below which thinner flakes stop helping. The other three all improve either the driving force or the condition of the material presented to the solvent.
