Feasibilitiy Study of Drying with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
Abstract
Recently, the possiblity of the application of supercritical fluid drying in food and biotechnology is discussed. Supercritical carbon dioxide can solve water or an organic solvent from a product without harming the product's structure. This is a simillar process as supercritical extraction which is extensively used in food technology for, e.g., the extraction of coffein, hops, oil, or fat. Supercritical fluid drying is already used in material and micro technology in cases where very fine structures are produced and water or organic solvents need to be removed from those without harming the structures. The feasibility of supercritical drying in food and biotechnology is examined in this project.
