Extraction optimization of mucilage from Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) seeds using response surface methodology

Aqueous extraction of basil seed mucilage was optimized using response surface methodology. A Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for modeling of three independent variables: temperature (40–91 °C); extraction time (1.6–3.3 h) and water/seed ratio (18:1–77:1) was used to study the response for...
