From the above results, the yield of thyme essential oil extracted by supercritical CO2 fluid can be as high as 4.22%, which is far greater than the yield of steam extraction.
Supercritical CO2 extraction is a powerful technique for extracting valuable compounds from raw materials. The addition of co-solvents to the supercritical CO2 extraction process can enhance the solubility and selectivity of the target compounds. This article focuses on the effect of co-solvent in the supercritical CO2 extraction process, including an experimental study and optimization, and presents a table that summarizes… Read More »The Effect of Co-solvent in Supercritical CO2 Extraction Process: Experimental Study and Optimization
Supercritical CO2 extraction is a widely used method for the extraction of high-value compounds from various raw materials. The use of co-solvents in the supercritical CO2 extraction process can significantly enhance the extraction yields and selectivity of the process. Co-solvents can be polar or non-polar and play a crucial role in optimizing the supercritical CO2… Read More »The Importance of Co-solvents in Supercritical CO2 Extraction
