Application Of Supercritical Fluid Extraction In The Processing Of Solid Feeds

Applications of Supercritical Fluid Extraction in Food Processing

Preservation of food is a top priority in today’s food processing industry, which focuses on nutrients, texture, and sensorial characteristics of food products. Supercritical fluid extraction is a process that is a “green” method that allows rapid extraction of bioactive compounds at reduced cost. This new volume investigates technologies within this extraction process, starting with an introduction and proceeding on to the design, applications for quality, and regulatory aspects. A wide range of research demonstrating the successful application of this method in different food products, ranging from, milk, meat, fish, grains, fruits and vegetables, and other foods, is discussed. The book explores the opportunities and challenges, properties, chemistry fluids, operating conditions and yield, modeling of supercritical fluid extraction, analytical applications, chromatography, micro- and nano-scale materials, extraction of phytochemicals from plants, application in fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, oilseeds, food byproducts, and more.

Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Nutraceuticals and Bioactive Compounds

Enhanced concern for the quality and safety of food products, increased preference for natural products, and stricter regulations on the residual level of solvents, all contribute to the growing use of supercritical fluid technology as a primary alternative for the extraction, fractionation, and isolation of active ingredients. As a solvent-free p
