Which supercritical fluids are used in extraction & purification of natural extracts?

The application of supercritical fluids in extraction and purification of various natural extracts and others, using CO 2 accounts for more than 90% of the published research in the field of supercritical fluid technology. Other supercritical fluids being used are propane, hexane and butane.

Does supercritical propane increase the yield of sunflower oil extracts?

For example, the yield of sunflower oil extracts increases with supercritical propane, at low pressure, as compared to SFE with pure CO 2. The review also revealed that the sesame seed oil extraction with propane is much faster that that with carbon dioxide.

Can ethanol be used to extract jojoba seeds?

Salg?n , studied the extraction from jojoba seeds using SC-CO 2 with ethanol as a co-solvent. It was found out that with the addition of ethanol as a co-solvent, the extraction time reduced. Similarly, the solubility and the yield of the extraction also increased by using ethanol with SC-CO 2.

Why is supercritical fluid a good extraction solvent?

Soil contains small pores which have a high capacity to contain the contaminants. A fluid which can reach these pores has the ability to clean effectively. Supercritical fluid being an effective extraction solvent can be used for that purpose. In an experiment by Park et al. , four types of soil were used to study the SFE.
