Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Chromatography of Lipids in Bilberry [PDF]
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 2015 AbstractA supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method has been developed for the extraction of lipids in bilberry. Experimental design was used to optimize pressure, temperature and extraction time using CO2 as solvent. Best SFE condition for total lipids was 450 bar, 60 °C and 45 min. The SFE method was compared to conventional Bligh & Dyer (B&
