Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) is a process of separating components from a material using supercritical fluids as the extracting solvent. When a fluid is above its critical temperature and pressure, it exists in a supercritical state where it exhibits unique properties, combining the diffusivity of a gas and the solvency of a liquid. This unique state makes supercritical fluids particularly effective for various extraction processes.
