Walnut oil is rich in nutrients, containing high levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and low levels of saturated fatty acids, alongside essential minerals such as selenium, phosphorus, and zinc. These fatty acid profiles provide positive biological properties that beneficially affect blood lipids and lipoproteins. The extraction method employed substantially influences the composition of the extracted lipids and other vital nutrients. While traditional extraction methods exist, newer green extraction technologies offer distinct advantages. These green methods are ecologically benign, shorten extraction durations, and achieve yields comparable to conventional processes. Furthermore, oils produced through green extraction technologies demonstrate higher overall quality and greater resistance to oxidation processes compared to oils obtained using older extraction techniques.
Walnut oil provides notable nutritional benefits, including favourable effects on blood lipids and lipoproteins. Choosing modern green extraction techniques allows processors to obtain nutrient-rich oils more efficiently and sustainably. Because green methods reduce processing times and increase oil resistance to oxidation, they help preserve the nutritional integrity and shelf life of the final product while minimising environmental impacts.
This work is relevant to edible oil producers and food processing industries seeking sustainable manufacturing techniques. By adopting green extraction methods, processors can reduce extraction times and improve oil stability against oxidation while maintaining competitive yields. Because the evidence is based on a review of existing methods rather than direct industrial piloting, the practical application appears tested in laboratory settings but requires plant-level evaluation for full industrial adoption.

Walnut oil is extremely nutrient dense. It has plenty of oil and is high in fatty acids, which have positive biological properties and have a favorable impact on blood lipids and lipoproteins. Walnut oil is low in saturated fatty acids and high in unsaturated fatty acids as well as being high in other vital nutrients. Walnut oil can be extracted using traditional as well as new and green technologies. It is low in saturated fatty acids and high in unsaturated fatty acids (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids) as well as being high in other vital nutrients (e.g., selenium, phosphorus, and zinc). Walnut oil can be extracted using traditional as well as new and green technologies. The chosen extraction method has a significant impact on the lipids and other important components extracted. It is critical to select a suitable extraction process for the compounds of interest. In this study, different extraction methods are reviewed, demonstrating the significant benefits of new methods over previous approaches. New green technologies are ecologically benign and allow for shorter extraction times and yields that are comparable to those obtained using traditional methods. The new green technologies allow for higher-quality oils that are less vulnerable to oxidation processes than most of the old technologies.
