Separation of palm kernel oil (PKO) from undehulled ground palm kernel was studied for extractions performed with supercritical CO2 using initial pressurization–depressurization treatments. The pressurization-depressurization treatments are denoted as pressure swing (PS) extractions. Extractions w...
