The purpose of this work is to investigate the effects of particle size on the extraction of catechin compound from Areca catechu L. seeds by using Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE). The particle sizes of Areca catechu L. seeds are varied from 75 μm until 500 μm. The extraction is conducted at fi...
