CO2 Extraction for Pharmaceutical Ingredients – A High-Purity Solution

Pharmaceutical manufacturers require high-purity, solvent-free extraction methods to ensure the safety and effectiveness of active ingredients. CO2 SUPERCRITICAL EXTRACTION MACHINES have become a preferred technology in the pharmaceutical industry for extracting bioactive compounds, essential oils, and plant-based medicines.

1. Why CO2 Extraction for Pharmaceutical Ingredients?

Supercritical CO2 extraction is widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing due to its non-toxic, solvent-free, and highly selective nature. Unlike ethanol or hexane-based extractions, CO2:

  • Does not leave harmful solvent residues in final products.
  • Operates at lower temperatures, preserving heat-sensitive bioactive compounds.
  • Allows selective extraction, enabling precise separation of medicinal ingredients.
  • Is FDA-approved for pharmaceutical and food-grade extractions.

2. Key Pharmaceutical Ingredients Extracted Using CO2

  • Cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, THC) – Used in pain relief and epilepsy treatments.
  • Curcuminoids (from Turmeric) – Anti-inflammatory compounds used in supplements.
  • Flavonoids & Polyphenols – Antioxidants with anti-aging and anti-cancer properties.
  • Alkaloids (e.g., Caffeine, Morphine derivatives) – Active compounds in medicine.
