Chapter 16. Subcritical Water Extraction of Bioactive Components from Algae
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chapter abstract: Subcritical water extraction (SWE) is presented in this chapter as a potent and novel alternative to conventional solvent extraction processes for isolating bioactive components from algae. SWE is defined as the extraction with water at temperatures ranging from the boiling point to the critical point and at pressures high enough to keep the water in the liquid state throughout the extraction process. Water has many advantages when used as solvent since it is environmentally green and sustainable and can modify some of its physical and chemical properties by heating. Interesting real applications of this technology are discussed together with other applications with potential to be developed successfully under SWE conditions.
