With the increasing interest in the food industry for natural sources of antioxidants for their beneficial effects on health, new potential sources have been screened among edible aromatic plants and microalgae. The cc-tocopherol content (a potent antioxidant) in parsley was reported to be 3.45mg/100g of fresh leaves obtained through supercritical fluid extraction (Diego et al., 2004).

Mendes et al. investigated supercritical fluid extraction with CO2 on different microalgae. In the case of Botryococcus braunii, the long-chained hydrocarbon components (alkadienes and trienes) could be extracted by means of SCCO2 (at a constant temperature of 40 °C). Studies showed that the solubility of the components in CO2 is dependent on the pressure, and an optimum in terms of yield and extraction rate is attained at 30 MPa.
