Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) is a process used in the chemical industry to extract compounds from a variety of materials. It is a form of solvent extraction that uses supercritical fluids, such as carbon dioxide, as the extraction solvent. The process is used to extract compounds from a wide range of materials, including plant and animal tissues, food products, and pharmaceuticals. The process is also used to separate and purify compounds, as well as to fractionate mixtures.
SFE is a relatively new technology, but it has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to extract compounds with high efficiency and low environmental impact. The process is also cost-effective and can be used to extract compounds from a variety of materials.
Some of the major companies in the Supercritical Fluid Extraction market include Waters Corporation, BOC Sciences, Sigma-Aldrich, and W.R. Grace & Co. Show Less Read more
