Abstract

Plant oils are highly valued for nutritional, functional, and industrial purposes, particularly due to their bioactive compounds and essential components. In this context, essential oils rich in volatile compounds are obtained using the supercritical CO₂ extraction method. In recent years, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) extraction has emerged as an advanced and environmentally friendly technique for recovering these oils. It offers advantages such as high extraction efficiency, solvent-free products, and preservation of heat-sensitive compounds. The supercritical carbon dioxide extraction method enables the selective separation of essential oils by adjusting operating parameters such as pressure and temperature. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of supercritical extraction in essential oil production, focusing on extraction yield, oil composition, and quality characteristics. Furthermore this review also, the effects of processing conditions on oil extraction yield and the functional properties of the obtained oils are discussed.

Özet

Bitkisel yağlar, özellikle biyoaktif bileşikler ve temel bileşenler içermeleri nedeniyle besin, işlevsel ve endüstriyel açıdan büyük değer taşımaktadır. Bu kapsamda uçucu bileşenlerce zengin uçucu yağlar süperkritik CO₂ ekstraksiyon yöntemi kullanılarak elde edilmektedir. Son yıllarda, süperkritik karbondioksit (SC-CO₂) ekstraksiyonu, bu yağların geri kazanımı için gelişmiş ve çevre dostu bir teknik olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Yüksek ekstraksiyon verimliliği, çözücü içermeyen ürünler ve ısıya duyarlı bileşiklerin korunması gibi avantajlar sunmaktadır. Süperkritik karbondioksit ekstraksiyon yöntemi, basınç ve sıcaklık gibi çalışma parametrelerinin ayarlanmasıyla uçucu yağların seçici olarak ayrılmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu derleme, ekstraksiyon verimi, yağ bileşimi ve kalite özelliklerine odaklanarak uçucu yağların üretiminde süperkritik ekstraksiyonun etkinliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca bu derlemede, işleme koşullarının yağ çıkarma verimi ve elde edilen yağların fonksiyonel özellikleri üzerindeki etkileri tartışılmaktadır.
