Integrated CO2 Supercritical Extraction and Drying for Food Powders

Integrated CO2 supercritical extraction and drying processes combine extraction and dehydration in a single workflow, optimizing the production of high-quality food powders. This approach enhances efficiency while preserving the nutritional and functional properties of sensitive compounds.

1. How Integration Works

• Simultaneous Processes: Extraction isolates bioactives, while drying removes moisture, producing stable powders.

• Preserves Integrity: Operates at low temperatures to protect heat-sensitive compounds.

• Residue-Free: Avoids the use of chemical solvents, ensuring food safety.

Example: A CO2 SUPERCRITICAL EXTRACTION MACHINE was used to produce turmeric powder enriched with curcumin, preserving its color and antioxidant properties.
