Modeling and optimization of Terminalia catappa L. kernel oil extraction using response surface methodology and artificial neural network

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were used to optimize Terminalia catappa L. kernel oil (TCKO) yield. Solvent extraction method was used for the oil extraction, with n-hexane as the extracting solvent. The highest oil yield was obtained at 55 °C,...
