Description
Carbon dioxide supercritical extraction isolates volatile aromatics by operating CO₂ above its critical point.
Technical
Elevated temperatures and pressures increase solvent density, enhancing solubility of terpenes and phenolics while preserving heat‑labile flavors. The process is widely used in modern gastronomy to produce high‑purity essential oils and flavor concentrates.
Science
Primary Reaction
CO₂ dissolves aromatic terpenes and phenolics in the supercritical state.
