Supercritical CO2 extraction of waxes from date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) leaves : optimisation, characterisation, and applications

The low cost, abundant, underexploited and underutilised renewable agricultural waste residue, date palm leaves (Phoenix dactylifera), were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to obtain valuable waxes. The extraction process was optimised using second order factorial design to obtai...
