Abstract
The selective extraction and concentration of high-value minor components of crude palm oil CPO was investigated. These include carotenes vitamin E sterols and squalene. This was carried out using non-toxic non-flammable and environmentally friendly solvent - carbon dioxide under supercritical conditions. This was performed at temperatures ranging from 313 K and 413 K and pressure ranging from 80 to 300 kg cm-2. Most of the minor components are found to be concentrated at early fractions. These include vitamin E tocopherols and tocotrienols squalene and sterols. Carotenes however are found to be concentrated at final fractions. In addition fatty acids and monoglycerides are also extracted at the ealier fractions while diglycerides are fractionated out at middle fractions. There is no selectivity of supercritical carbon dioxide SC-CO2 for triglycerides as they are distributed in all fractions with mean of about 90.
