This work investigates the effect of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction conditions (pressure and temperature) on the oil yield and β-sitosterol content extracted from Swietenia mahagoni seeds by using response surface methodology (RSM). The experimental data obtained were fitted to a s...
