Supercritical Fluid Extraction - New progressive method in brewing analytics. Part I. - Theoretical principles of supercritical fluid extraction and examples of its use.

Abstract

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of liquid samples can be considered a new prospective method, which has not yet been utilized in the field of beer analysis. In the article, basic principles of supercritical fluid extraction are explained and a brief literary outline of its applications in related branches is given. Another article will follow this introductory part and it will focus on the use of SFE to determine sensory active substances in beer.Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of liquid samples can be considered a new prospective method, which has not yet been utilized in the field of beer analysis.
