Abstract
Moringa oleifera L. extracts (Mo) have attracted attention as a sustainable and effective alternative to synthetic ingredients for cosmetic formulations. The unique and diverse phytochemical profile of the Mo tree enhances the quality and appeal of commercial products, as evidenced by numerous studies and patents. Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SFE-CO2) is particularly advantageous for this purpose, offering enhanced thermostability and selectivity of extracted compounds compared to conventional methods. This review examines the safety and efficacy of Mo seed, leaf, and root extracts as cosmetic ingredients, focusing on their bioavailability and performance by considering the thermodynamics and operational benefits of SFE-CO2. The collected data highlights the method’s efficiency in terms of the total extraction yield and the recovery of target compounds from Mo, providing insights from optimisation studies and linking the solvation power of supercritical CO2 with the significant non-polar and low-polar compounds present in Mo extracts.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
