Phytochemistry Reviews Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Supercritical technologies are new, environmentally friendly, advanced separation techniques that have attracted the attention of both industry and academy in their aspirations of producing safer products with cleaner processes. In the field of biopesticides, supercritical fluids are being used in different stages, from the extraction of active ingredients from natural matrices to the encapsulation of blends during the formulation of the final commercial pesticide. This review summarizes different supercritical processes that arise in literature comprising supercritical fluid extraction, supercritical antisolvent fractionation or extraction, supercritical assisted atomization, particle from gas saturated solutions and supercritical solvent impregnation among others. The aim of this work is to give a general view of supercritical fluids in the field of biopesticides production, optimization and formulation, emphasizing in the extraction, fractionation and encapsulation and highlighting their importance when green, solvent free processes have to be designed.
