A Review on Supercritical Fluid Extraction

Abstract

Industries are in search of best and cost-effective processing technologies to extract components from any material with maximum purity and quantity. The drawbacks of traditional solvent extraction methods led to the development of novel processing technologies that can be employed into any industry. This review mainly focuses on supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) process, an innovative, environmentally friendly tool for food processing techniques. Here, we are discussing about the general aspect of SFE and their recent potential commercial applications in different fields. Nowadays, this method gained lots of importance in food as well as non-food industrial applications.
