Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is an advanced technique that uses fluids in a supercritical state (such as carbon dioxide) to extract specific compounds from solid or liquid matrices. In the food industry, this technology stands out for its ability to obtain high-purity extracts, free from toxic solvents and with lower environmental impact. Its versatility allows…
Read moreCaffeine extraction from coffee using supercritical CO₂ is one of the most advanced applications of supercritical fluid extraction in the food industry. This technique enables the removal of caffeine from raw materials such as green coffee beans or tea leaves, while preserving aromatic compounds and essential oils that contribute to the sensory quality of the…
Read moreDid you know that the defatted cocoa you’re used to still contains around 10% fat? What if we told you that advanced technologies now make it possible to reduce this content to less than 1%? Through supercritical dioxide (CO₂) extraction, it is possible to obtain ultra-defatted cocoa with minimal fat, high fibre content and bioactive…
