The present invention relates to a process for obtaining a furan
lipid-rich unsaponifiable material from avocado, which comprises the
successive steps (1) of controlled dehydration of fresh avocados or of
avocados that have undergone preliminary transformations, (2) of
extraction of the oil from dehydrated fruit, (3) of a heat treatment of
the extracted oil and of a step of concentration of the unsaponifiable
fraction of the oil or alternately, these two operations possibly being
carried out successively in this order or in the reverse order, and
finally (4) a step of saponification and of extraction of the
unsaponifiable material.
