A promising technique of Green Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SC-CO2) process was developed for the extraction of squalene from palm oil mesocarp. In this study, the green SCCO2 was compared with the conventional Soxhlet extraction for quantify the best extraction method. The independent variables in...
