Description:

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum), also known as cilantro, is commonly used for its aromatic leaves and seeds in culinary and medicinal applications. One of the advanced methods for extracting its essential oil is Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SCFE), which utilizes supercritical CO₂ (carbon dioxide) as the solvent. In this process, CO₂ is subjected to high pressure and temperature, reaching a supercritical state where it behaves like both a gas and a liquid. This allows the CO₂ to effectively dissolve essential oils and other compounds from coriander seeds . SCFE is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly method, as it leaves no harmful solvent residues behind and preserves the delicate compounds in coriander oil, such as linalool, which imparts the herb’s characteristic citrusy and floral aroma. The process also allows for selective extraction of specific compounds, enhancing the purity and quality of the oil. SCFE-extracted coriander oil is ideal for use in food flavoring, perfumes, and aromatherapy, retaining the plant’s natural essence without compromising on aroma or flavor. USES :
