Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the variables affecting the Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) extraction of non-polar compounds from Zingiber zerumbet using the Box-Behnken design (BBD). Dependent variables were the percentage of the chemical components in the ginger v...
