This study optimizes supercritical CO2 extraction and evaluates antioxidant activity in dragon fruit seeds, suggesting significant health benefits.
Red-fleshed dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) seeds, an abundant agro-industrial byproduct, contain valuable oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids with potential antioxidant properties. This study aimed to optimize the oil’s supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) extraction and evaluate its physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity.
