Solubility of Carnosic Acid in Supercritical Co2 + Ethanol as a Modifier: Measurements and Thermodynamic Modelling

چکیده
Antioxidants are widely used in food products to preserve deterioration of their lipid components. Lately the nutraceutical properties of such compounds have driven much attention for their relationship with human health, and then natural antioxidants are preferred. Among natural antioxidants, rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis L.) has been described as one of the spices with higher antioxidant activity, which has been mainly attributed to carnosic acid content [1]. The present study is devoted to the experimental measurement and thermodynamic modeling of solid carnosic acid solubility in supercritical CO2 + ethanol as a co-solvent. Measurements were carried out at temperatures in the range of 313.15 K and 333.15 K, pressures ranging from 280 to 400 bar, and at different content of the modifier ethanol (from 0.7% to 10%). The Group Contribution Associating Equation of State (GCA-EoS) [2] was applied in this work to represent the experimental solubility data obtained.

Selective Extraction of Phospholipids from Egg Yolk with Supercritical Co2
It is well known that supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) is very efficient to remove neutral lipids from a variety of matrices, such as plant seeds [1]. The valuable, polar phospholipids (PL) remain behind, which is ascribed to their limited solubility in SC-CO2 [2]. Typically, they are extracted by adding a polar modifier such as methanol or ethanol to the supercritical fluid (SC-fluid) [2-4]. In a re...

Alkanolamine solutions such as 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) are widely used in chemical industries for the removal of acid gases such as CO2 and H2S. In this work, the density of CO2, AMP, water, and AMP solutions using the Goharshadi–Morsali–Abbaspour Equation of State “GMA EoS” in the extended 50-degree range of temperatures (313.06-362.65 K) and pressures (0.5-40 MPa) was calculated. Th...
