Production of avocado oil is one of three products of the research project "Technical measures for post-harvest preservation and processing of avocado powder and avocado oil in Quang Tri" by Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Van Toan and a research team from the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology, University of Agriculture and Forestry, Hue University (HUAF) and Quang Tri Department of Science and Technology coordinated to implement.
Avocado oil products are extracted from combined enzyme extraction technology. According to this technology, only 18 - 20 kg of avocados will extract 1 liter of essential oil, while according to traditional methods, 45 - 50 kg are needed. With this technology, avocado oil products have a shelf life of 2 years.
