Acai (Euterpe oleracea) is a very popular fruit in the Brazilian Amazon, It is consumed as a nourishing and tasty food. Some studies suggest that E. oleracea has therapeutic effects on problems like cancer, hypocholesterolemia, fatty liver, malaria, and neurodegeneration.
The supercritical fluid extractions were performed with supercritical CO2 at densities of 700, 800, and 900 kg/m3 while varying three and eight nominal values of temperature and pressure respectively. .Environmentally Friendly:
Supercritical CO2 extraction is an environmentally friendly option. Since CO2 is a natural gas, it does not contribute to ozone depletion or global warming as some organic solvents do. Also, the CO2 used in the extraction process can be recycled and reused, reducing waste and environmental impact.
Product Quality: The Acai berry extract obtained through supercritical CO2 extraction retains its bioactive components in a more intact form compared to traditional extraction methods. The gentle extraction conditions prevent thermal degradation of heat – sensitive compounds and ensure that the nutritional and functional properties of the extract are preserved. This makes the extract highly safe and is organic oil for applications in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and food industries.
