Effects of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction parameters on virgin coconut oil yield and medium-chain triglyceride content
The extraction of coconut oil has been performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). The extractions were performed at pressure and temperature ranges of 20.7-34.5 MPa and 40-80 °C, respectively. It was observed that almost all (more than 99%) of the total oil could be extracted.
