7.1 INTRODUCTION

Supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) is one of the most innovative and reliable methods for separation and extraction process of volatile aroma compounds by use of supercritical fluids (SCFs) as the extraction solvent (Figure 7.1) (McHugh and Krukonis, 1986; Hawthorne et al., 1988; Sinha et al., 1992; Anklam et al., 1998; King, 2002). SCF could be easily removed from the extracted material, almost leaving no trace by decreasing pressure and therefore is eco-friendly (Stashenko et al., 1996, 2004). Therefore, the resulting treatment is simple when SCF is used for the extraction of volatile aroma compounds.
