Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of macaúba oil extraction using supercritical carbon dioxide, focusing on determining operational parameters such as temperature and pressure that maximize the quality and yield of the extract obtained. The extraction was carried out using freeze-dried macaúba pulp, under varying conditions of pressure and temperature. The overall yield isotherms of macaúba oil obtained, the solubility of the solute, composition of fatty acids, triglycerides, phenolic compounds, in addition to the antioxidant capacity and antimicrobial activity, were evaluated, before and after extraction. The results demonstrated that, under the conditions evaluated, the extraction process achieved maximum oil yields of 24.4 %, with a predominance of unsaturated acids rich in antioxidants and high concentrations of oleic acid (64.12 %), β-carotene (80.06 mg/kg) and α-tocopherol (114.66 mg/100 g of oil). This promising method offers a sustainable alternative for the production of compounds with high nutritional value, highlighting its potential for industrial applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
