Co2 Extracts

What is C02 Extraction Process ? How is Co2 Extraction Useful ?
Supercritical or Liquid CO2 extraction processes are highly technical processes (see process flow diagram). Equipment operating under high-pressures transforms carbon dioxide (normally a gas at atmospheric pressures) into a fluid with enhanced solvent characteristics. (see phase diagram). Carbon dioxide has many advantages over other less desirable organic solvents:

* CO2 is non-hazardous and leaves no undesirable solvent residues.
* CO2 extraction is an environmentally friendly process.
* Extraction conditions can be controlled for optimal results.
* Low extraction temperatures preserve product integrity and quality.
* CO2 extracted products exhibit excellent storage stability.
