Abstract
A method for extracting oil from sea cucumber material. The sea cucumber material is mixed with water and the mixture is heated at a predetermined heating temperature for a predetermined heating time interval. The pH value and temperature of the mixture are adjusted to be compatible with an enzyme. A predetermined amount of the enzyme is then added to the mixture. The mixture is incubated at a predetermined incubation temperature for a predetermined incubation time interval. After the incubation the oil is removed from the mixture.
