Previous study on the mathematical models applied to SFE with a co-solvent for plants.

Plant	Co-solvent	Mathematical model	Results	References
Sumac seeds	Ethanol	Differential mass balances and shrinking core model (SC)	Both mathematical models can well predict the behaviour of the process and fit the data	22
Leaves and stems of Synadenium grantii	Ethanol	First order empirical model	The model fit with the experimental curve	11
Castanea sativa	Ethanol	Empirical model23, logistic model24, desoprtion model25, and broken and intact cell model (BIC)26	The BIC model was the most fitted with the extraction curve followed by the logistic and desoprtion model. The empirical model was the least fitted	27
Cannabis hybrid flower	Ethanol	Broken and intact cell model (BIC) model26	The model fit with the experimental curve	28
Eremanthus erythropappus	Ethanol	Broken and intact cell model (BIC) model26	The model fit with the experimental curve	29
Spirulina platensis	Ethanol Water Ethanol–water	Differential mass balance model	The model fit with the experimental curve	30
Hypericum caprifoliatum	Ethanol Water Ethanol–water	Simplified broken and intact cell model (BIC) model31, differential mass balance model32 and desorption model25	The differential mass balance model was the most fitted with the extraction curve	33
Phyllanthus niruri	Ethanol–water	Modified Sovová model34	The model fit with the experimental curve	17
