This study focuses on the optimization of ultrasound-assisted oil extraction from Carica candamarcensis seed using response surface methodology. The process parameters considered were extraction time (30�60 min), ultrasound amplitude level (20�40%), and solvent to seed ratio (10�20 mL/g). These were...
