Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SCFE) Facilities
SCFE is an environmental
friendly approach for extraction of natural products/herbals. The
ever increasing strict environmental regulations for use of common
industrial solvents, most of which are hazardous to human health,
have led to the popularity and growth of SCFE technologies employing
supercritical CO2 as a solvent (has accepted status as GRAS).
Sophisticated SCFE instrumentation allows precise regulation of
changes in temperature and pressure and thus manipulating solvating
property of SCF which helps the extraction of natural products of
wide polarities.
