It All Starts with Coffee

Supercritical... Coffee?

After its discovery, the first large scale use of supercritical fluids in extracting natural products was the decaffeination of coffee. Since then, many industries have made the switch to supercritical fluid. Producers of essential oils are finding supercritical fluids to be an excellent replacement for traditional methods that use hazardous chemicals.

Solvent Free extracts created with supercritical fluids are found in foods, fragrances, herbal extracts, natural medicines, aromatherapy… and the list goes on.

For more information about how supercritical fluid can improve YOUR process, visit the  Essentials Oils section of the Applied Separations website.
