Summary: This study focused on the SFE of cherry seed oil and optimized the process using sequential extraction kinetics modeling and ANN. Various kinetic models were successfully applied, with findings suggesting that higher pressure and CO2 flow rate, along with lower temperature and particle size, can maximize the initial slope of the SFE curve.

Summary: Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has been widely used in extracting seed oils due to its efficiency, low cost, and the ability to optimize the process through modeling. There is also a trend towards combining SFE with other extraction methods such as ultrasound-assisted extraction to enhance the extraction process.

Summary: The optimal conditions for supercritical fluid extraction of winged bean seed oil were determined using a CO2 flow rate of 21.3 L/h, a pressure of 30 MPa, a temperature of 55°C, and an extraction time of 90 min. Under these conditions, the extraction process yielded a maximum oil yield of 36.27%. The winged bean seed oil contained a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids compared to oil produced using other extraction methods.

Summary: This study revealed the molecular mechanism of action of Descurainia sophia seeds (DS) and Astragalus mongholicus (AM) in the treatment of heart failure caused by various cardiac diseases. DS alone was found to reverse the most differentially expressed proteins in the heart of rats with isoproterenol-induced cardiomyopathy (ISO-iCM), relieving the condition. Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) reduced the efficiency of DS, while astragaloside IV (AS4) remarkably improved its pharmacological potency.

Summary: A hybrid procedure combining ultrasound-assisted supercritical CO2 extraction (UASCE) and Taguchi approach optimization was developed for the extraction of Cosmos sulphureus seed oil (CSSO). The CSSO obtained by UASCE exhibited higher oil yield, higher contents of beneficial compounds, and better physicochemical characteristics compared to traditional techniques. Additionally, the kinetics study showed that the extraction process was mainly driven by convective mechanisms with increased mass transfer coefficients and reduced extraction periods due to the ultrasound assistance. Therefore, UASCE can be considered a high-performance and sustainable technique for plant oil extraction in the food and dietary supplement industries. Cosmos sulphureus is a potential source of edible oil with excellent nutritional properties.

Summary: The suitability of three extraction techniques (cold pressing, Soxhlet, and supercritical fluid extraction) in isolating oil from cherry seeds was compared. The extraction yield, fatty acids profile, tocopherols yield, and antioxidant activity of the oils were examined. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) achieved the highest yield and exhibited better or comparable antioxidant potential compared to traditional techniques. The comparison between modern and conventional extractions provides insights into their pros and cons for industrial application.

Summary: This study aimed to optimize the pressure and temperature conditions for supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of Makwaen pepper (Zanthoxylum myriacanthum) extract (ME) in comparison to conventional hydro-distillation extraction. The optimal SFE conditions were found to be 20 MPa at 60 degrees C, resulting in the highest yield and total phenolic compound content. The ME obtained through SFE exhibited better physicochemical and antioxidant properties, while the hydro-distillation-extracted ME showed stronger antimicrobial properties.
