Oil extraction yields and total oil extraction yields (OEY_TOTAL) of dry pecan nuts. Reference kernels were not soaked nor PEF processed. Control kernels ( ) were placed in tap water for 3, 20 and 35 min corresponding to PEF-treated kernels () processed at 0.8, 7.8 and 15.0 kJ/kg, respectively. OEY_TOTAL is the oil extraction yield estimated with the ${\mathrm{o}}_{\mathrm{SW}}$.
