Parametric optimization of solvent extraction of Jatropha curcas seed oil using design of experiment and its quality characterization

The present study investigated the individual and combined effects of extraction temperature (50–70 °C), particle size (0.6–1.0 mm), and solvent/solid ratio (8:1–10:1 mL/g) on the yield of Jatropha curcas seed oil (JCSO) using n-hexane as extraction solvent. Central composite design was used for opt...
