Supercritical CO2 extraction – a new perspective in the utilisation of food industry by-products

The food industry, same as any other industry, aims to utilise raw materials as efficiently as possible in the production process, but it also tries to create minimum amounts of waste, where waste is not necessarily “waste”, but a by- product or a raw material for some subsequent process. Today there is great interest in utilising food industry by-products for various purposes because they contain many potentially useful substances, and they could become significant raw materials in the production/development of new products due to that fact. This paper places special emphasis on the influence of modern green extraction techniques, like supercritical CO2 extraction, on the utilisation and extractability of certain biologically active components from selected by-products which have an application in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.
