Food waste, a by-product of various industrial, agricultural, household and other food sector
activities, is rising continuously due to increase in such activities. Various studies have …

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) offers an alternative method to conventional extraction of
fatty acids. SFE was developed for analytical application in the mid-1980s in response to the …

By-products of plant origin represent an abundant source of bioactive compounds. However,
to exploit these resources commercially relevant strategies for their extraction must be …

Lycopene and β-carotene were extracted from tomato paste waste using supercritical
carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). To optimize supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) results for the …

This work aimed to assess and optimise the extraction of carotenoids from carrot peels by
supercritical CO 2 (S-CO 2), utilising ethanol as co-solvent. The evaluated variables were …

The food industry is always looking for the best separation technology to obtain natural
compounds of high purity, healthy products of excellent quality with several industrial …

The “natural” food colorants, carotenoids, are of great importance to human health. In an
effort to enhance the efficiency of SC-CO2 extraction of carotenoids from carrots, canola oil …

Soybean oil and olive oil were investigated as continuous co-solvents for supercritical
carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis. Without …

Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the extraction procedure for
the determination of vitamin E in tomato and broccoli samples. The effects of varying the …

Extraction and chromatographic separation of fat-soluble vitamins is a challenging task, due
to the sensitivity of these compounds towards light, oxygen, heat and pH. In light of this …
