Extraction of Nutraceutical Components from Algae Using Supercritical CO2

Nadine Igl-Schmid, Josef Schulmeyr, Andreas Wuzik

Supercritical CO2 extraction pressures During food processing organic or inorganic liquids are conventionally used for separation purposes. While supercritical CO₂ extraction is increasingly applied as an alternative at industrial scale, details of processing are critically important to preserve functional properties of the ingredients, for example carotenoids in nutritional products or dietary supplements. The authors describe algae species which they find best suited for carotenoid extraction and their experience with extraction from sensitive biomass at different pressures with varying outcomes of supercritical CO₂ extraction.

Authors work with brewing and nutrition industries supplier Barth-Haas Group

A timely, peer-reviewed professional overview within B2Bioworld’s Algae Series.

Turkish Chemicals Industry: Opportunities and Threats

Timur Erk, President of TKSD on re-building Turkey’s chemicals industry

tl_files/images/images_we_own/b2bio content/photo library/editorial content/B2Bio100622_TimurErk5_wk011b_200x202.gif September 2010. What makes Turkey’s chemicals industry more competitive beyond drivelling speeches? How should current petrochemical projects be assessed at Izmir, Adana-Ceyhan and in other parts of the country? Then, what are roles for biosimilars? How could domestic research in nanotechnology and biotechnology contribute to modernisation of the industry sector.

Timur Erk, President of TKSD, the Turkish Chemical Industry Association offers an unvarnished look at weaknesses of the draught horse for the country’s economy. In the exclusive interview with B2Bioworld he is discussing sensitive issues of state aids, unregistered trading, and hazardous waste treatment.

There are real threats, but also opportunities for those who learn their lesson.
