Method of Extraction:	Supercritical CO₂ Extraction

Supercritical CO₂ extraction is an efficient separation method, to separate active ingredients from plant material. Supercritical solvent extraction is one of the gentlest, most flexible, dynamic and nature friendly techniques used for the extraction of spices, herbs and flowers using food grade CO₂. These are the products extracted at ambient temperatures and at high pressures to avoid loss of aroma and degradation of actives. Apart from being solvent residue free, supercritical fluid extraction is a green process, highly rated for its eco-friendliness. The low viscosity and high diffusivity of supercritical fluid enhances the penetrating power based on the high mass transfer of solutes into the fluid.

Supercritical extraction using CO₂ is considered organic compatible and widely used in the manufacturing of organic certified products. Kancor, with its global sourcing capabilities, more than two decades of expertise in CO₂ extraction and wide range of products, offers an edge over others in this world of discerning tastes. Supercritical CO₂ extraction is known for producing a high-quality product primarily because the CO₂ gas can reach its supercritical point at pressures and temperatures that don’t damage the cannabinoids and terpenes being harvested.

Due to the prohibition of Ephedra sinica Stapf. in Farw.-containing weight loss products in the market, C. aurantium has found an important place as a preferable agent to replace ephedra, as it contains p-synephrine, a phenylethanolamine type alkaloid, which is chemically similar to adrenergic agents, as appetite suppressants.

C. aurantium possesses multiple therapeutic potentials. These biological credentials include anticancer, antianxiety, antiobesity, antibacterial, antioxidant, pesticidal, and antidiabetic activities. The essential oil of C. aurantium was reported to display marked pharmacological effects and great variation in chemical composition depending on growing locations but mostly contained limonene, linalool, and ?-myrcene. Phytochemically, C. aurantium is rich in p-synephrine, an alkaloid, and many health-giving secondary metabolites such as flavonoids.

Essence of Neroli Essential oil

Besides the essential oil and its components, the fruits of C. aurantium are sources of flavonoid-type compounds with diverse biological effects. Additionally, it was reported that flavonoid glycosides were isolated from the plant and the biogenic amine and flavanone contents have been determined [8, 9].

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Safety Summary

· Hazards: Not known

· Cautions: Not known

Organ Specific Effects

· Adverse skin reaction: Undiluted neroli oil was not irritating to rabbit, pig or mouse skin; tested at 4% on 25 volunteers it was neither irritating nor sensitizing. It is non-phototoxic. In a multicenter study, Germany’s IVDK reported that 49 of 6,220 dermatitis patients suspected of fragrance allergy (0.79%) tested positive to 2% neroli oil. Only nine patients had þþ or þþþ reactions. Two cases of alleged ACD to neroli oil have been reported, but in neither case was clinical relevance established, and patch testing only elicitedþreactions. Oxidation products of linalool may be skin sensitizing.

· Reproductive toxicity: The low reproductive toxicity of linalool, (þ)-limonene and b-pinene, suggests that neroli oil is not hazardous in pregnancy.

Systemic Effects

· Acute Toxicity: Neroli oil acute oral LD50 in rats 4.55 g/kg; acute dermal LD50 in rabbits >5 g/kg.

· Carcinogenic/anti carcinogenic potential: No information was found for neroli oil, but it contains no known carcinogens. (þ)-Limonene, nerolidol and geraniol display anti carcinogenic activity.
