Phaleria macrocarpa (Mahkota dewa) seed was examined to determine the optimal conditions of oil yield by solvent extraction method using n-hexane as extracting solvent. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to describe explicitly the influence of extraction time, temperature and solvent-to...
