Tocopherol-enriched oil was extracted by supercritical fluid extraction of carbon dioxide (SFE-CO2) from Kalahari melon and roselle seeds. The SFE-CO2 process was optimised using response surface methodology(RSM) with central composite design (CCD). Three SFE-CO2 parameters namely extracting pressu...
