Quadratic polynomial equations for the three responses in terms of coded factors

Responses Equations
Extraction yield Y=20.33-0.95A-1.08B-0.35C-3.33AB-1.68AC-0.80BC+0.082A2-1.36B2+0.75C2 (3)
DPPH radical scavenging activity Y=74.41-8.49A-5.43B-1.52C-5.32AB-1.72AC-3.08BC-5.01A2-1.17B2-0.80C2 (4)
TPC Y=118.39-4.24A+0.84B-1.30C-4.69AB-2.17AC+6.11BC-5.13A2-0.0027B2-0.46C2 (5)

In these equations, Y is the predicted response, A, B and C are the values of the independent variables, extraction temperature (°C), extraction time (min) and solvent ratio (water: ethanol) (v/v%), respectively
