Polyphenol-Retaining Decaffeinated Cocoa Powder Obtained by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction and Its Antioxidant Activity

Cocoa beans contain many functional ingredients such as theobromine and polyphenols, but also contain a relatively high amount of caffeine, which can negatively impact human health. It is therefore desirable to reduce caffeine levels in cocoa powder used to make chocolate or cocoa beverages while retaining functional ingredients. We have established conditions for supercritical carbon dioxide (...

Study of the stability of two different fish oils obtained by extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide

During the last years the evidence of the nutritional benefits of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially omega-3 fatty acids, in the human body has become established. Moreover, the nutrition experts have recently recommended to increase the PUFA consumption in order to maintain an omega-6/omega-3 ratio between 5:1 and 10:1 in the diet [1]. Fish is the major dietary source of ω-3 PUFA; ...
