!--[if gte mso 9]> Grasas y Aceites 12.00 Walnutand almond kernels are highly nutritious mainly due to their high oil contents.In this study, 32 factorial experimental designs were used tooptimize processes for oil extraction by screw-pressing at industrial scale.Experimental designs included seed moisture content (SMC), and restriction die(RD) as the main processing parameters. Theoreticalmodels were scanned against experimental data in order to optimize oilextraction conditions. The response variables analyzed were oil yield (OY),f
