Rack- and cloth-pressed sea buckthorn juice examined microscopically consis
ted of variously-sized oil droplets and clumps of oil droplets held togethe
r by a dark rust-red material. On centrifugation, suspended solids in the j
uice decreased precipitously as the centrifugal force increased. Most of th
e particulate was removed by centrifugation at 10,000 x g for 16 min. Centr
ifugation provided a floating oil-rich cream laver, a sediment and an opale
scent juice. The morphology of the juice, and of the centrifugally obtained
fractions were studied by light microscopy.
