Abstract

The solubility of pure limonene and of citral in supercritical carbon dioxide was measured at temperatures ranging from 308.2 to 323.2 K and at pressures ranging from 3.0 to 11.0 MPa. The solubility and selectivity of different mixtures of limonene and citral were also measured in supercritical carbon dioxide at 323.2 K and at pressure from 9.49 to 10.0 MPa. The results show that compressed supercritical carbon dioxide extraction can be considered as an interesting alternative to other conventional processes for the separation of liquid mixtures of lemon oil components.
