How to extract oil from lotus plant leaves in laboratory scale?

26 September 2013 1 276 Report

We are doing a comparative research in understanding the fatty acid content in plant leaves mainly from aquatic plants and from terrestrial plant leaves. Based on these studies we can utilize these plant leaves as a source of Biofuel. But we are facing problems as we are lacking the methods to extract from leaves. Any help will be useful

I would start at this web site - http://lipidlibrary.aocs.org/topics/extract2/index.htm . I have found it to be very useful in the past.
