One of the limitations of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) that comes to the fore during the supercritical fluid extraction of phytochemicals is its incapacity to extract polar phytochemicals. Being naturally non-polar, sCO2 is: More suited for the extraction of non-polar… Read More
Utility of co-solvent pumps in phytochemical extraction using supercritical CO2
Although carbon dioxide is the most popular of the supercritical fluids (SCF) on account of its low critical temperature, abundant availability, relatively low cost, and non toxic nature at low concentrations, it does have a natural limitation – it is… Read More
