Tag Archives: supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) process

Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) is naturally non polar. Therefore, it is more suited for the extraction of non polar compounds from the raw material when used in the supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) process.  This limitation of sCO2 comes to the fore during the extraction of phytochemicals. sCO2: Is able to separate the non-polar phytochemicals. CanContinue reading “How important are co-solvent pumps and fluid pumps in the Carbon dioxide SCFE process?”
