About Natural Extracts Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
Product Description Synthesizing research from a wide variety of sources, this work offers a convenient guide to a clean, safe, inexpensive, non-toxic, non-polluting solvent that performs better than most conventional solvents. Natural Extracts Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide reviews recent development in the technology and its applications to the food, flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries. It outlines the many advantages the method has over traditional methods like steam distillation, solvent extraction, and molecular distillation and it supports the popular trend toward the use of natural products in these industries. Review "… very well written and easy to follow. It covers the current and newer areas of production of extracts from a host of natural products for food, pharmaceutical, and medicinal applications. …A unique feature of this book is the inclusion of a rather large database, covering both the fundamental and application aspects of many extraction processes and their products. The author has also provided some very useful data on economic comparison of the performance of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction processes with the more conventional contemporary processes practiced by various industries. …an excellent source book…" - S.S.H. Rizvi, Institute of Food Science, Cornell University, in Food Technology "... provides essential information for scientists interested in extractions in the laboratory or on an industrial scale, using an environmentally friendly option. The book lays the foundation for the potential investigator in the efficient isolation of naturally occurring compounds." -Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 44, Issue No. 7 (2001) "This interesting book deals with recent developments in the use of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCFE). It provides the reader with a comprehensive picture of this methodology and its applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries…The book is comprehensive in its approach and supports the use of SCFE as a non-polluting, environmentally friendly process…" - Phytomedicine "Dr. Mukhopadhyay is an expert on process design for SCF extraction operations. Industrial engineers will appreciate her discussion on transport processes such as heat and mass transfer involved in extraction of natural products… The remaining 2/3 of the book, having less mathematical information, is written with the general reader in mind. This allows it to be a useful reference for many industries including ours." Terry Gerstein, Society of Cosmetic Chemists, July/August 2001
