If in case you are curious to learn more about SCFE CO2 extraction process :
Supercritical fluid extraction - CO2 extraction
CO2 oils are extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide. At room temperature and average air pressure, CO2 is a gas. But when highly pressurized, it can enter a supercritical state. In its supercritical state, CO2 becomes like a liquid that is used as a solvent that extracts oil from plant material.
There are a lot of advantages of using CO2 extraction over the other methods as Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction is an environment-friendly technology.
There are no residual chemicals left after processing, hence Spice oils extracted are of superior quality.
Carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) is inert, non-toxic, non-flammable, low cost at high purity and is able to solubilize lipophilic substances which makes it the most frequently used supercritical fluid solvent because of its practical advantages.
Please note that artificial natural ingredients are manufactured using different techniques.
