Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) nut oil: experiments and modeling

Supercritical CO2 extraction of macadamia nut oil was carried out in a flow apparatus at the following operational conditions: pressures of 10, 15 and 18 MPa; and temperatures of 313 and 353K; a volumetric flow of 1.64 x 10-7 m³.s-1 was used for one hour in each experiment. The efficiency of the ext...
