To achieve immediate determination of residual oil content in pressed cake from pilot test or big data research,a rapid assay method based on UV absorption was established.Residual oil was extracted from pressed cake sample with heptane-ethanol mixture and the UV absorption curve of the residual oil extract was collected.The residual oil content could be calculated with the standard curve equation from the D225 value(first order derivative at 255 nm magnified by 100-fold)regardless of any processing type,such as pressing without pretreatment,cold pressing,de-hulled oilseed pressing,high temper...
