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.
