• What is supercritical CO2 extraction?
  • Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. In recent years, the supercritical CO2 extraction method has gained attention due to its use of environmentally friendly, non-toxic solvents, ability to operate at lower temperatures that do not cause the degradation of bioactive compounds, and capacity for rapid extraction.
  • Can supercritical carbon dioxide extract bioactive compounds from plants?
  • This work aims to discuss the recent advances in supercritical fluid extraction techniques, especially supercritical carbon dioxide, along with the fundamental principles for extracting bioactive compounds from natural plant materials such as herbs, spices, aromatic and medicinal plants.
  • Can supercritical CO2 be used as a substitute for solvent-based extraction?
  • SFE using supercritical CO 2 (Sc-CO 2) has been emerging as a potential substitute for conventional solvent-based extraction methods, especially in the field of pharmacology and environmental pollution abatement. This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art and new developments in Sc-CO 2 extraction technology.
  • What is supercritical fluid CO2 extraction (SFE)?
  • Recently, supercritical fluid CO 2 extraction (SFE) has emerged as a promising and pervasive technology over conventional extraction techniques for various applications, especially for bioactive compounds extraction and environmental pollutants removal.
  • Can supercritical fluid extraction extract seed oils?
  • The selectivity, low applied extraction temperatures, and in many cases short processing times, have led to the extensively use of this technique in extracting seed oils. Specifically, in this review we discuss the use of the supercritical fluid extraction technique to extract seed oils.
