  • supercritical plant oil extraction in nigeria
  • What is the use of supercritical fluids in plant volatile components?
  • The use of supercritical fluids, especially carbon dioxide, in the extraction of plant volatile components has increased during two last decades due to the expected advantages of the supercritical extraction process.
  • What is supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with CO2?
  • Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with CO 2 has shown to be an innovative method to obtain essential oils, since it allows the generation of extracts without solvent contamination and uses mild processing conditions avoiding the degradation of thermal sensitive compounds.
  • What are the advantages of supercritical fluid extraction?
  • Selectivity, shorter processing time, low applied temperatures, using of safe CO 2 fluid instead of toxic solvents altogether have made supercritical fluid extraction an attractive method for extracting different plant extracts.
  • How can a supercritical extraction fluid be selectively extracted from biomass?
  • In general, the selectivity of the supercritical extraction fluid is an important factor in determining the functional properties of the final extract. Changing the operating conditions, including temperature, pressure, and modifier solvent type/concentration, could achieve selective extraction of the targeted compound (s) from the biomass.
