About

With over 30 years of experience in academic and industrial R&D I bring comprehensive expertise in Supercritical fluid extraction and various process of food material treatment with compressed gases. Our facilities allow process development and/or research projects in the fields

·         Supercritical  high-pressure extraction - especially with carbon dioxide CO2. The advantages are: selective extraction with a harmless and tunable fluid, residue-free extracts (e.g. aromas) and residue-free cleaned materials (e.g. rice, cork, polymer and sealings).

·         Stirred autoclave processes, like structural changes (e.g. volume increase, powder color) reducing microbial load, coloring and impregnation; special effects (e.g. foaming creamers, popping candies).

·         Specialized high-pressure equipment – e.g. gas-assisted pressing of vegetable oils, roasting processes under pressure
