The total oil was extracted from the ground skin of Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) using various techniques of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) at 20–35 MPa and 45–75 �C and by the Soxhlet method for comparison. The oil yield increased with pressure and temperature and the highest yi...
