About CO₂ Extraction 


CO₂ extraction is a modern method for obtaining extracts from plant (or other natural) raw materials using carbon dioxide (CO₂) in its liquid or supercritical state.

  • In the CO₂ extraction process, carbon dioxide acts as a solvent that can efficiently extract fat-soluble, volatile, and other bioactive substances without the use of organic solvents or high temperatures. There are two main modes:
    • Subcritical extraction (low temperature and pressure): liquid CO₂ is used.
    • Supercritical extraction (above the critical point of 31.1°C and 73.8 atm): CO₂ acquires the properties of both a liquid and a gas, allowing it to deeply penetrate the raw material and effectively dissolve target components.
  • After extraction is complete, CO₂ evaporates without leaving any residue in the product. As a result, the extracts are highly pure, free from solvent residues, and retain all the beneficial properties of the source material.
  • Compared to traditional methods (using alcohol, hexane, etc.), CO₂ extraction:
    • Preserves a wide range of heat-sensitive biologically active substances.
    • Leaves no toxic solvent residues.
    • Allows adjustment of yield and product purity simply by changing temperature and pressure parameters.
  • Main applications: food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical industries, and the production of essential oils and extracts.

Key advantages of CO₂ extraction:

  • High purity of the final product.
  • Environmental friendliness and safety.
  • Selectivity of the extract’s composition.
  • The possibility to reuse CO₂ multiple times.

Unlike most solvents, CO₂ is completely removed from the extract at the end of the process, which makes this technology especially valuable for producing natural and pure products.
