Supercritical fluid extraction of sterols from Eichhornia crassipes biomass using pure and modified carbon dioxide: enhancement of stigmasterol yield and extract concentration

The supercritical extraction of stalks and leaves of Eichhornia crassipes was carried out using pure andmodified carbon dioxide. Preliminary results evidenced that the influence of temperature is weakerthan pressure and ethanol content, and thus a design of experiments was performed in the rangesof...
