Optimization of supercritical CO2 extraction of phytosterol-enriched oil from Kalahari melon seeds.
Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction of oil from Kalahari melon seeds was investigated in this study. Response surface methodology was applied to model and optimize the extraction, namely pressure (200–400 bar), temperature (40–80 °C), and supercritical fluid flow rate (10–20 mL/min). We...
