One of the advantages of SFE is CO2 solvating power can be
manipulated by changing pressure (P) and/or temperature (T);
therefore, knowing the influence of extraction conditions on the
process is necessary to obtain high extraction yields. SC-CO2 extractionyields
obtainedatdifferent conditions of P and/or T frommango
leaves of the variety Osteen are shown in Fig. 2A. Global yields
obtained with pure CO2 were unsatisfactory and even changes in
the extraction conditions led to negligible improvements. The highest
yield was 1.22 ± 0.13% obtained at 40 MPa and 55 ◦C.
