A process for reducing the oil content of oil-containing articles, such as food products. The food products are placed in contact with subcritical liquid carbon dioxide for a period of time sufficient to extract a predetermined amount of oil. The predetermined amount of oil to be extracted is within the range of about 5 percent to about 90 percent of the original oil content of the oil-containing article, in addition ranging from about 5 percent to about 75 percent of the original oil content of the oil-containing article, and further in addition ranging from about 5 percent to about 50 percent of the original oil content of the oil-containing article. The extracted oil optionally may be separated from the liquid carbon dioxide. The separated oil may be reused in the manufacture or processing of the oil-containing article, and the separated liquid carbon dioxide may be reused in the extraction process.
