Background and Objectives: Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) technique has been studied for extraction of bioactive compounds from Feijoa sellowiana leaves. Results were compared with those obtained from conventional ethanolic extraction (CE). Materials and Methods: Results: The best supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction conditions was determined as 250 bar of pressure, 50 &deg...

The total oil content of soyflakes, canola seed and wetmilled corn germ were determined by analytical supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with carbon dioxide as the extraction solvent. Results obtained by SFE were in excellent agreement with those obtained by a conventional Soxhlet technique with organic solvents. The analyticalscale SFE technique yielded average means within one standard devi...
