Total oil was extracted from ground fish head of Longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol) using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at 20 to 40 MPa, 45 to 65 oC and 1 to 3 ml min−1. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the operating conditions of the SC-CO2 technique where the high...
