The Application of Supercritical Fluids Technology to Recover Healthy Valuable Compounds from Marine and Agricultural Food Processing By-Products: A Review

Food by-products contain a remarkable source of bioactive molecules with many benefits for humans; therefore, their exploitation can be an excellent opportunity the food sector. Moreover, revalorization these to produce value-added compounds is considered pivotal sustainable growth based on circular economy. Traditional extraction technologies have several drawbacks mainly related consumption hazardous organic solvents, and high temperatures maintained long periods which cause degradation thermolabile as well low efficiency desired compounds. In this context, supercritical fluid (SFE) has been explored suitable green technology recovery broad range from different types agri-food wastes. This review describes working principle development SFE valorize origin (marine, fruit, vegetable, nuts, other plants). addition, potential effects extracted active substances human health were also approached.
