How to optimize mechanical press extraction of oil from Roselle oilseeds?
For example, Bamgboye and Adejumo, applied a five factor four level CCRD for the optimization of the mechanical press extraction of oil from roselle oilseeds. The factors studied were applied pressure, moisture content (% dry basis), heating temperature, heating time, and pressing time for both fine and coarse samples.
