About the entry
A supercritical fluid (SCF) is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist. It can effuse through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials like a liquid.
While we typically think of fluids as either a liquid or a gas, by manipulating pressure and temperature we can take a fluid (carbon dioxide, in our case) past its “critical” phase-change point to create a “supercritical” fluid — a unique state that exhibits the properties of both liquid and gas.
These properties make supercritical fluids extremely useful in extracting certain substances — flavors, active ingredients, essential oils — while leaving others behind. In its supercritical state, CO2 can diffuse through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials like a liquid. By precisely controlling variables like temperature, pressure and flow rate we can fine-tune the extraction process, customizing it to best suit the compounds we’re extracting
