Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

The article presents a thorough investigation into ultrasonic-assisted oil extraction from Croton macrostachyus leaves, a plant commonly found in Eastern Africa. It highlights the optimization of extraction conditions using response surface methodology, focusing on parameters such as sonication temperature, time, power, and solid-to-solvent ratio. The study also examines the physicochemical properties of the extracted oil, including fatty acid composition and various quality metrics like iodine value, acid value, and peroxide value. The research underscores the potential of ultrasonic extraction as a viable and efficient method for enhancing the value of this African crop, offering insights that could benefit both the agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors.
