Description
Summary:<p>Extraction of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) rich oil from coconut using supercritical carbon dioxide was<br /> performed. MCTs have been reported have beneficial value for health. In this paper, solubility of the oil in<br /> supercritical carbon dioxide examination and evaluation of the effect of extraction parameters (pressure, temperature<br /> and carbon dioxide consumption) were reported. The extraction conditions were at the pressure and temperature<br /> range of 3000 to 5000 psi and 40 to 80 oC respectively. The solubility experimental data was correlated with<br /> Chrastil&rsquo
