“…Lately, a continuous CO2 explosion system was described that can effectively disrupt Neochloris oleoabundans UTEX 1185 cells. The continuous method reduced CO2 consumption between 2-4 fold, reduced the process time 3-9 fold, and increased biomolecule yields by more than 2 fold compared to the batch method (Günerken et al, 2019). Other non-reactive gasses such as N2 can also be used for cell lysis through explosive decompression (Simpson, 2010).…”

“…Under such conditions, the density and transport properties are tunable between the gas‐like to liquid‐like state with small changes in the pressure, which at the same time allows the more selective extraction of compounds with different polarities (Subramaniam, 2017). Besides extraction per se , SFCs have also been applied in technologies like disruption (Günerken et al., 2019), microencapsulation (Monteagudo‐Olivan et al., 2019), pasteurization, and sterilization (Garcia‐Gonzalez et al., 2007), and chromatography (Bernal et al., 2013). Although several types of SCFs are used, supercritical CO 2 (SC‐CO 2 ) is mostly applied due to its nontoxicity, nonflammability, chemical inertness, low costs and high availability (Elst et al., 2018; Panja, 2018).…”

The global trade of tropical fruits is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. In 2018, the production was approximately 100 million tones, an increase of 3.3% compared to the previous year. Nevertheless, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization, every year one‐third of the food produced in the world for human consumption is lost or wasted. More specifically, around 45% of the fruits, constituted mainly by peels, seeds, and pulps after juice extraction, are discarded mainly in the agricultural and processing steps. Therefore, decreasing and/or using these byproducts, which are often rich in bioactive components, have become an important focus for both the scientific community and the fruit processing industry. In this line, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) technology is expected to play a significant role in the valorization of these byproducts. This review presents the concepts of a tropical fruit biorefinery using supercritical CO2 extraction and the potential applications of the isolated fractions. There is a specific focus on the extraction of bioactive compounds, that is, carotenoids and phenolics, but also oils and other valuable molecules. Moreover, the techno‐economic and environmental performance is assessed. Overall, the biorefinery of tropical fruits via SFE provides new opportunities for development of food and pharmaceutical products with improved economic and environmental performance.
