CO2 extraction in food industry

CO2 extraction is a process used in the food industry to obtain pure, high-quality products like flavors, oils, or extracts. It involves using carbon dioxide in its supercritical state—between a gas and a liquid—to dissolve and separate desired compounds from raw materials. This method is efficient, environmentally friendly, and preserves the natural qualities of the ingredients without using solvents or heat that could degrade them. The result is a clean, concentrated extract suitable for use in food products, offering a safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional extraction techniques.
