CO2 extraction in pharmaceuticals

CO2 extraction in pharmaceuticals uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and controlled temperatures to isolate active compounds from plant materials or raw ingredients. In this process, CO2 acts as a solvent, dissolving the desired substances without leaving harmful residues. When the pressure is released, the CO2 evaporates, leaving pure extracts behind. This method is efficient, eco-friendly, and preserves the integrity of sensitive compounds, making it popular for producing high-quality active ingredients for medicines, supplements, and natural products.
