Sažetak
Food industry is always looking for processes that can minimize the environmental impact, decrease toxic residues, use by-products more efficiently and also obtain high-quality products with good nutritional and organoleptic properties and preserved original ingredients. Supercritical fluid extraction has attracted considerable attention in recent years as a promising alternative to the conventional solvent extraction and mechanical pressing in food processing. As a new green solvent in recent years is considered supercritical carbon dioxide which proved to be a highly desirable solvent in the separation process since it is non-toxic, non-flammable, no taste or smell, inexpensive and readily available in large quantities, as well as because it is environmentally friendly and GRAS solvent. By using carbon dioxide as solvent the process of supercritical extraction becomes environmentally friendly process resulting in extracts free of toxic solvents. This technology is still relatively new and is not widely used on the commercial scale for the extraction of edible oils. This is mainly due to very high investment costs of equipment. This paper will reviewed the application of supercritical fluid technology in the extraction of edible oil from different seeds.
