  • Process for production of highly enriched fractions of natural compounds from palm oil with supercritical and near critical fluids
    Patent number: 8048462
    Abstract: From palm oil, valuable compounds like the tocochromanols, carotenoids, phytosterols and other can be derived in the new process. Fractions derived from crude palm oil, already enriched to some extent in tocochromanols, carotenoids, phytosterols, and others, are treated by supercritical fluid technology in a unique combination of counter current separation with selective adsorption and desorption using supercritical fluids.
