Subcritical water extraction with compacted natural calcium carbonate column for the extraction of natural products

The aim of this work was to develop subcritical water extraction (SWE) method for the extraction of natural products. The developed system was applied to the extraction of natural products from the rhizomes of A. mutica and Calotropis procera as model samples. The efficiency of the SWE method was co...

Dried rhizomes of A. mutica were introduced into the extraction vessel connected to the pump that delivers the extractant which further passes through the CNCC unit.
