Exploring the Future of Extraction: Akay’s Supercritical Fluid Extraction Plant

In an era where the demand for pure, high quality and environmentally friendly products is ever-increasing, Akay's Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SCFE) green technology stands at the forefront of innovation. The plant utilizes cutting-edge technology, harnessing the power of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) for the extraction of essential oils, Extracts, Flavors, and Enriched forms of color and active ingredients and deodorised products from a wide range of plant materials.

 

Advantages of Supercritical CO2 Extraction

  • Pure and Organic Solvent-Free Extracts

One of the most significant advantages of using supercritical CO2 for extraction is that it results in pure extracts free from residual organic solvents. This is particularly crucial in industries such as food, Pharma, Nutraceutical and cosmetics, where purity and safety are paramount.

  • Versatility and Precision

The supercritical fluid extraction process is incredibly versatile, allowing for the extraction of a wide range of compounds from spices, herbs, flowers, and other plant materials. By adjusting the temperature and pressure, the extraction process can be fine-tuned to selectively isolate specific components, making it a highly flexible method.
