Valorization of water hyacinth through supercritical CO2 extraction of stigmasterol

Water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) is an invasive aquatic plant that has recently been showed to have a remarkable abundance of stigmasterol in leaves and stalks. The supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of E. crassipes parts was performed for the first time in this work, covering total yield (eta...
