Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) seeds: response surface optimization, fatty acid composition and physicochemical properties

A new technology called supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) was performed to obtain oil from red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) seeds. The extraction process was optimised by response surface methodology (RSM) and the effects of extracting variables namely temperature (35-65ºC) and pressure (1500-...
