Superex Supercritical

Only Co2 is sufficient to obtain bioactive components such as oil, flavor and active substance that can usually be taken from the product.Since Co2 is nonpolar, it can extract similar components more easily. In this way when extraction done, the main solvent is still CO2. Then, by adding alcohol to the system, the desired molecule can be focused. The density of the extracts varies according to the working pressure. When working at low pressures (100-150 bar), substances with lower molecular weights and products in the form of clear oil rich in volatile components are obtained. When the pressure value is high (200-300 bar), components rich in active ingredients and high molecular weight are obtained in semi-liquid form. This may vary depending on the product you will extract. E.g; When we extract caffeine from tea, we get caffeine particles in the form of solid particles, and when we extract a rice bran, we get a creamy extract in foam form.
