The technology of super criticeal CO2, fluid extraction (SCFE) is a newly developed separating technology which is growing in the world. By this separating technology, no chemical reagent is added in its processing. So it can greatly meet the environmental protection requirement in the production of medicines, food health care products and cosmetics. At the same time, it also has the characters of high extraction effectiveness. high quality, low separating moisture, low energsy consumption and no pollution.
It is especially suitable for the extraction of substances with fatty solubility, high boiling point and heat sensitivity. It is also suitable for the fine separating of different ingredients. So it is one of the advanced separating technologies in the held of modern pharmaceuticals, food, flavor and fin chemicals. It can be used in the extracting volatile oil, biological alkali and tocopherol from animals and plants extracting EPA and DHA from fish oil. Separating vitamin E from various kinds of fat concentrating punting and precipitatingfor antibioties. Extracting and purifying for essence and flavor and so on
TECHNICAL SERVICES HEAR IT FIRSTHAND FROM OUR CUSTOMERS.
If you have not enough experience in the extraction with supercritical fluids, it is difficult to fine-tune the extraction process of your matrix. At North Brooks we are organized to test new matrices for our customers and analyze the extract.
North Brooks helps customers to correctly prepare the matrix by indicating the degree of humidity, grain size and pretreatment and suggests process conditions such as the pressure and temperature and, very importantly, the residence time, controlled by the CO2 flow rate.
