Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction has been used for extraction of essential oil from Swietenia mahagoni seed. The effect of different particle sizes on diffusivity coefficients, D (m2/s) were studied by applying second Fick’s law of diffusion proposed by Crank. Particle size of 710 µm showed t...
