Informationen zum Autor Jose L. Martinez Klappentext This book presents the state of the science in the extraction and fractionation of bioactive ingredients by supercritical fluids. Focusing on implemented industrial processes and trends, each chapter covers the major active components in the target material, an analysis of the specific process used, a comparison with traditional processing methods, and a set of conclusions with supporting data and insight. With over twelve chapters, the book presents the supercritical fluid extraction processes in edible oils, including fish oils and specialty oils; herbs, such as Latin American plants and those used in traditional chinese medicine, algae, spices, antioxidants; and essential oils. It also covers the processing of micro- and nanoscale materials by supercritical fluid technology.
