[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=\u201d\u201d]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)<\/strong> 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 operation at relatively low temperatures, which helps preserve thermolabile compounds such as antioxidants, essential oils, vitamins or natural pigments.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, supercritical CO\u2082<\/a><\/strong> is a non-flammable, non-toxic solvent that is easily removed from the final product, making it suitable for applications in environments with strict safety and quality requirements. This positions supercritical fluid extraction as a key enabling technology for developing safer, more natural and differentiated ingredients that meet consumer demand and sustainability goals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
