[0022] Furthermore, the bio-enzymatic method is an emerging oil extraction method that applies enzyme preparations to oil separation. Through the mechanical disruption of oilseed cell walls and enzymatic degradation, the oil extraction rate is improved. Because it avoids the use of organic solvents and high-temperature, high-pressure conditions, the processing conditions are milder compared to traditional oil extraction processes. The degradation products in the system generally do not react with the extract, effectively protecting usable components such as oils, proteins, and gums, thus ensuring product quality and environmental safety. The oil extraction method described in this invention, by using a bio-enzymatic method to extract oil from walnut shells, avoids the impact of high-temperature, high-pressure conditions on the quality of the extracted oil. It also features low energy consumption, significantly reduced organic solvent usage, strong environmental friendliness, and mild process conditions, making it suitable for industrial production.

[0023] Furthermore, walnut shells, as a byproduct of walnut production, represent a significant waste of resources. This invention, however, discovers that walnut shells contain a certain amount of oil and provides a bio-enzymatic method for extracting this oil. Using the oil extraction method described in this invention, the oil extraction rate from walnut shells can reach 4.08% to 4.4%, achieving the green reuse of walnut shells. Detailed Implementation
