Solubility model of arachis hypogea skin oil by modified supercritical carbon dioxide
The main objective of this study was to determine the solubility of peanut (Arachis Hypogea) skin oil using modified supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2). The solubility was measured at pressure ranging from 100 to 300 Bar, temperature of 313 to 328 K, and rate of modifier from 0.075 to 0.225 mL/min. The solubility of extraction was ranging from 1.12 to 7.73 mg/min. The Chrastil, modified Chrastil, Del Valle Aguilera (DVA), Adachi-Lu, and Gordillo as empirical models were tested to fit the experimental data. Solubilities from these models followed the average absolute relative deviations (AARD) from experimental data: Chrastil, modified Chrastil, DVA, Adachi-Lu, and Gordillo with AARD of 8.54%, 8.26%, 19.41%, 9.24%, and 20.62%, respectively. Modified Chrastil model provide the best fit.
