Resumen en inglés Supercritical CO2 (SCO2) can be utilized to extract oils from a number of plant materials as a nontoxic alternative to hexane, and there is industrial interest in using SCO2 extraction to obtain high-quality oils for cosmetics and other high-value applications. A possible substrate is rosehip (Rosa aff. rubiginosa) seed. The scope of our work was to select SCO2 extraction conditions and to compare cold-pressed, hexane-extracted and SCO2-extracted rosehip oil. We used a fractional factorial experimental design with extraction temperature (T, 40-60 °C), extraction pressure (p, 300-500 bar) and dynamic extraction time (t, 90-270 min) as independent variables and yield and color as response variables. Samples of 100 g flaked rosehip seeds were extracted with 21 g CO2/min, following a static extraction (15 min adjustment) period. Resulting data were analyzed using response surface methodology. Extracted oil (4.7-7.1% in our experimental region) increased slightly with p and more pronouncedly with T and specially t. On the other hand, the photometric color index was independent of t but worsened (increased) as a result of an increase in either p or specially T. We extracted five batches of 250 g seeds with 21 g CO2/min at 40 °C and 300 bar for 270 min and compared the oil with samples obtained by solvent extraction (a batch of 2.5 kg of laminated seeds was treated with 10 L hexane and rotaevaporated until there was virtually no residual hexane) and cold pressing, by determining color, fatty acid composition, iodine index and saponificati
