Abstract

The present study concerns the application of a green process namely the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of oil from some local vegetable matrix, such as olives which represent one of the major sources in the world. The effects of pressure and temperature on the extraction yield were investigated. The results showed that the yield increased markedly with pressure, contrary to temperature.
