Eco-friendly, cost efficient and effective extraction methods have become significant for the
industries applying zero waste principles. The two main objectives of this study were; to
examine fucoxanthin extraction from wet Phaeodactylum tricornutum using subcritical fluid
extraction and to characterize the residual biomass in order to determine the potential
application areas. The highest fucoxanthin yield of 0.69±0.05 mg/g wet cell weight was
achieved using methanol with solvent-to-solid ratio of 200: 1 at 120 rpm, 20 MPa pressure …
