Abstract

This chapter introduces various applications of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and supercritical fluid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (SFC-MS) focused on terpenes and terpenoids. SFE and SFC offer unique advantages compared to conventional techniques such as efficiency, faster process and low environmental impact. Additionally, the drastic effects of sample heating in hydrodistillation for example can be avoided. Both theoretical and practical aspects will be discussed and are illustrated with academic and industrial applications.
