Supercritical fluid extraction with CO2 is a green process that can separate and extract natural chemical components from plants, seeds and other biomass. It is a versatile, selective, non-toxic and non-destructive extraction method that avoids loss of flavor and active components from the raw material. The process is highly rated as eco-friendly and sustainable as the CO2 used is recovered as a by-product from other industrial processes, and no toxic waste streams originate from the extraction process.
