Both oil batches showed similar fatty acids compositions. Main fatty acids were 6-linoleic acid (about 60%), palmitic acid (about 15%) and oleic acid (about 14%). The induction time was used to determine the oxidative stability, 4.2 and 8.3 h being obtained for SFE extracted oil and n-hexane extracted oil, respectively. Regarding the kinetics of supercritical fluid extraction, the Sovová's model was selected and successfully applied to the description of the oil extraction curves. The fitted parameters, the overall mass transfer coefficient for the fluid phase, K f , and the overall mass transfer coefficient for the solid phase, K s , vary in the ranges 2.34-4.57 × 10 −2 s −1 and 1.73-4.34 × 10 −4 s −1 , respectively. The free oil content for milled seeds, f k , was calculated as 61%. These parameters are consistent with those published for several other oils.

Recovery conditions were varied from 6 to 8 MPa and the extraction time was varied from 1 to 6 hours. The study of the antioxidant activity of peppermint residual extracts in sunflower oil was performed using a Rancimat method. The best protection factor versus concentration of extract curve was obtained for the extraction condition of 18 MPa, 323 K and 1 hour. The residues of the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction show a high antioxidant activity but it was mainly dependent on the pressure used. It is concluded that the methodology employed was convenient for obtaining extracts with antioxidant activity, having applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

(holm-oak) was extracted with compressed carbon dioxide in the temperature range of 35-60 • C and in the pressure range of 12-21 MPa. The influences of particle size, CO 2 density, solvent flow rate, and extractor geometry were studied. Two different tubular extractors were used: extractor 1 of 0.2 L of capacity, internal diameter D = 45.7 mm, height/diameter ratio H/D = 1.5, and extractor 2 of 0.09 L of capacity, internal diameter D = 21.3 mm, and H /D = 12.

The use of supercritical carbon dioxide for solvent extraction is currently the subject of numerous investigations. The solubilities of triolein in supercritical carbon dioxide were measured over a temperature range of 308--328 K and at pressures between 8 and 20 MPa by the static method. The data were correlated by the model proposed by Chrastil and the modification proposed by Adachi and Lu and Del Valle and Aguilera.
