Brazil is typically the world's largest producer of sugarcane. Consequently, the processing of this raw material generates a high amount of by-products, such sugarcane peel. Thus, in this project, sugarcane wax extraction was evaluated through the fractionation of the sugarcane peel using different mass-to-feed ratio, particle size, and extraction time. The trials were done using hexane as solvent in a Soxhlet extractor. Total crude yields were modelled using the software STATISTICA 7.0 and central compound experimental design to gain a better understanding of the conditions required to achieve optimum extraction.
