A fibrous cellulose powder (CF-1) was investigated as a drying agent for supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), also known as accelerated solvent extraction. Analysis of fifty-eight diverse pesticides was performed using gas chromatography-ion-trap mass spectrometric detection (GC-ITD). Extraction efficiencies were correlated versus pesticide polarity with...

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has become one of the most popular green extraction 35 techniques nowadays since it has demonstrated many advantages compared to traditional or classical extraction processes. Aspects such as improved selectivity, higher extraction yields, better fractionation capabilities and lower environmental impacts have been crucial to the important growth of SFE. In t...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) have been determined in the atmosphere of Isfahan, Iran. Airborne particulate matter was sampled using a high-volume air sampler at roof-top level (~6m). Extraction of PAHS from airborne particulate matter has been performed using SFE system and the relationship between the extraction temperature and the recovery of PAHS</su...

Two different relatively simple, commercially available supercritical fluid extractors (SFE), Leco and Foss-Tecator, were tested for the determination of total fat content in meat and meat products. The fatty acid composition in meat and meat products was also determined after the Foss-Tecator extraction in an aliquot of the extract. Total fat was determined by weighing after the different extr...

This work was aimed to extract and characterise the essential oils presented in the leaves of Moringa Oleifera using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and compare the results against those using the conventional Soxhlet extraction method. The oils extracted were analysed using GC-MS. The compounds were identified according to their retention indices and mass spectra (EI, 70eV). The effects o...

Among the different extraction techniques used at analytical and preparative scale, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is one of the most used. This review covers the most recent developments of SFE in different fields, such as food science, natural products, by-product recovery, pharmaceutical and environmental sciences, during the period 2007-2009. The revision is focused on the most recent...

This review study summarized the Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) as new analytical method. The advantage and disadvantage of CO2 (SC-CO2 )as well as special applications of SFE in food processing such as removal of fat from food, enrichment of vitamin E from natural sources, removal of alcohol from wine and beer, encapsulation of liquids for engineering solid products and extraction and ch...

Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) was first attempted in 1962 [1]. Although several papers on SFC were published during the subsequent two decades [2], their content did not encourage many researchers to investigate this technique. After the introduction of fused-silica capillary SFC in the early 1980s [3], many papers describing fundamental studies as well as application studies appeare...

Coniferyl ferulate, which is noted for its multiple pharmacological activities and chemical instability, is abundant in Angelica sinensis. In this paper, five methods, namely sonication extraction (SE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), hydrodistillation (HD) and decoction (DC) for extraction of coniferyl ferulate, as well as ferulic acid, Z/E-ligustilid...

BACKGROUND Hydrodistillation (HD) and steam-distillation, or solvent extraction methods of essential oils have some disadvantages like thermal decomposition of extracts, its contamination with solvent or solvent residues and the pollution of residual vegetal material with solvent which can be also an environmental problem. Thus, new green techniques, such as supercritical fluid extraction and m...
