RESIDUAL OIL AND POLYTONUTRIENTS CONCENTRATES FROM PALM PRESSED - FIBRES

摘要

THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A METHOD FOR EXTRACTING RESIDUAL OIL AND/OR PHYTONUTRIENTS CONCENTRATES FROM PALM PRESSED-FIBRES BY USING SUPERCRITICAL CO₂, OPTIONALLY WITH ADDITION OF AN ENTRAINER, AS EXTRACTION MEDIUM. THE SUPERCRITICAL CO₂ EXTRACTION PROCESS IS CONDUCTED AT PRESSURES RANGING FROM 9 — 40 MPA (90 - 400 BAR) AND AT TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM 35 — 80°C.
