In a previous study we determined optimum conditions for non-starch total lipid (NSTL) extraction
from wheat flour by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system. We used water-saturated butanol (WSB)
extraction as a reference. They included 10,000 psi at 130 C for the extraction chamber pressure and
temperature, respectively, and 60 mL extractant of carbon dioxide and ethanol mixture (1:1 by volume) at 3
mL/min. Lipid binding during mixing is well received by cereal chemists and therefore, we studied
optimum extraction conditions of NSTL from dough. For extraction of NSTL from lyophilized flour/water
doughs mixed to optimum, the optimum SFE condition included 10,000 psi and 140 C for the extraction
chamber pressure and temperature, respectively, and 80 mL extractant of a mixture of carbon dioxide and
ethanol (1:1 by volume) at 3 mL/min. The NSTL from flour and dough have been fractionated into
nonpolar, glyco-, and phospholipids by a solid phase extraction system. The amounts and composition of
NSTL from flours and doughs were comparable.
