Optimum Parametric Parameters for Extraction of Tamarind Seeds Oil Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite Design (CCD) and Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA)

Abstract

This paper outlines the composition of tamarind seed oil, the various applications for its use, the different solvents used to extract it, and the results of the response surface methodology (RSM-CCD) studies conducted to optimize the extraction process. It summarizes the results of the studies, which found that ethanol and isopropanol are the most promising solvents for oil extraction. The optimal extraction conditions are 52.5 °C and 8:1 ratio solvent to solid ratio for 6 h of reaction time, which yielded a maximum of 8.86% extractable oil.
