  Abstract: The objective of this study was to extract and characterize the antioxidants from the Ethiopian avocado seeds of the Pinkerton variety, using ethanol as a solvent. Response surface methodology (RSM) in combination with Box-Behnken experimental design with a three level, three-factor mixture design was used to optimize the extraction condition for assessing the maximum yield of antioxidant from the avocado seeds. Ethanol concentration (%, v/v), temperature (°C) and time (h) …
