CO2 Extraction of Bioactive Compounds – Efficiency & Purity

CO2 extraction is one of the most efficient and cleanest methods for isolating bioactive compounds from plants, herbs, and pharmaceuticals. Bioactive compounds—such as polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and antioxidants—are widely used in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and functional foods.

Using a CO2 SUPERCRITICAL EXTRACTION MACHINE, manufacturers can achieve high purity, solvent-free extracts while maintaining the bioavailability and potency of these compounds.

1. Why Use CO2 Extraction for Bioactive Compounds?

  • Solvent-Free, Clean Extraction – No residual solvents, making it ideal for food & pharmaceuticals.
  • High Selectivity & PuritySupercritical CO2 can selectively extract desired compounds while leaving undesirable components behind.
  • Low-Temperature Processing – Protects heat-sensitive bioactives like terpenes, flavonoids, and omega-3 oils.

2. Bioactive Compounds That Can Be Extracted with CO2

CompoundCommon SourcesHealth Benefits
FlavonoidsCitrus fruits, green tea, cannabisAntioxidant, anti-inflammatory
PolyphenolsGrapes, olives, cocoaCardiovascular health, anti-aging
AlkaloidsCoffee, ginseng, coca leavesStimulant, pain relief
CarotenoidsCarrots, tomatoes, paprikaEye health, immune support
Omega-3 Fatty AcidsFish oil, flaxseedBrain function, heart health

Conclusion

CO2 extraction is the most efficient and safest method for isolating bioactive compounds with high purity and retention of medicinal properties.
