Supercritical CO₂ Extraction for De-nicotinization
Supercritical CO₂ extraction is a highly effective and solvent-free technology used for the selective removal of nicotine from tobacco and related botanical materials. This advanced process allows precise control over extraction parameters, enabling nicotine reduction while preserving the natural flavor, aroma, and quality of the raw material.
The technology ensures controlled de-nicotinization with minimal impact on sensory characteristics, making it ideal for tobacco processing, research applications, and reduced-nicotine product development.
Key Advantages
Selective removal of nicotine without harsh solvents
Preserves natural flavor and aroma profile
High purity and consistent processing results
Controlled and adjustable nicotine reduction levels
No solvent residue or chemical contamination
Environmentally friendly process with reusable CO₂
