That many chemical substances are not soluble in sc carbon dioxide permits selective extraction.100 It is often used with foods, for which it eliminates the possibility of leaving toxic residues of solvents such as methylene chloride. It also avoids the hydrolysis that might occur when esters (for flavors or fragrances) are recovered by steam distillation. It has been used to extract the flavor from hops, the caffeine from coffee, fat and cholesterol from foods,101 pecan oil,102 lavender oil (for which hydrolysis of linalyl acetate could occur in steam distillation), 103 ginseng (from which it does not extract pesticide residues),104 ginger,105 microalgae,106 cooked chicken,107 ethanol from cider,108 and many others.

An acetone extract of ginger administered intraduodenally resulted in an increase in bile secretion of rats. In the same study, an aqueous ginger extract had no effects on bile secretion (Yamahara et al. 1985). In rats, ginger has been shown to stimulate hepatic cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase, an enzyme responsible for the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids (Srinivasan and Sambaiah 1991).
