Use of Supercritical CO2 and R134a as Solvent for Extraction of b-Carotene and a-Tocopherols from Crude Palm Oil

Abstract: Supercritical fluid extraction of α-tocopherol and β-carotenoids from crude palm oil offers an excellent method over other existing conventional methods. Supercritical fluid extraction was developed in the early and mid-1980s to reduce the use of harmful organic solvent in the laboratory. The present paper reviews the applications of supercritical fluid extraction technology in extraction of palm oil using CO2 and R 134a fluids. Carbon dioxide is non-toxic, having low critical pressure (74 bar) and temperature… Show more

“…[14] To-date, supercritical fluid extraction technology R134a as a solvent was introduced to prevent degradation of carotene during extraction. [15] These sources are becoming more important to recover the carotenes in palm oil because most of them are destroyed in the present refinery process to produce light color oils.The thermal degradation of β-carotene has been studied since 1963, but none of the studies reported the amount of dhA formed. Nonetheless, many studies have been done focusing only on the extraction of palm carotenes and no studies have been carried out on the production of aroma compounds by degradation of these carotenoids from CPO.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, the subcritical HFC-134a extraction and the subcritical HCFC-22 extraction are not common for coffee extraction, unlike the SCCO 2 extraction. However, there was a comparison of HFC-134a and SCCO 2 for palm mesocarp oil extraction that showed the oil yield obtained using the SCCO 2 extraction was higher than the HFC-134a extraction due to the better mass transfer characteristics around the solvent critical point [ 38 ].…”

“…Pharmaceuticals, flavours, phytochemicals, lipid pigments and scents are among the nutraceuticals and bioactive components found in the tamarind plant. The plant's seeds can be used to extract oil, which is widely used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries [17]. Sea buckthorn has been farmed forages throughout Asia and Europe as an ancient crop with modern properties.…”
