Supercritical carbon dioxide (Sc-CO2) was applied to extract fat and cholesterol from beef floss (BF). A response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was employed to optimize the extraction conditions of temperature (30 - 62°C), pressure (7 - 35 MPa), and extraction time (0 - 40 mins). The optimum conditions were estimated to be at 51.0°C and 32.8 MPa for a duration of 32.7 mins. Under such conditions, the percentage of fat and cholesterol reduction plus lightness of Sc-CO₂ treated BF (STBF) were 81.12%, 86.17%, and 57.60, respectively. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) between experimental and predicted values, indicating the adequacy of the well-fitting models. Furthermore, the protein and ash content of STBF increased significantly (p<0.05) as a result of the extraction. This study indicated that RSM-CCD can be potentially employed in maximizing the extraction of fat and cholesterol from BF under mild Sc-CO2 conditions.
