Supercritical CO and Conventional Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Different Cultivars of Blackberry ( L.) Pomace.

The main objective of this work was to extract bioactive compounds from different cultivars of blackberry pomace using conventional Soxhlet and supercritical CO (SC-CO) extraction methods. For Soxhlet extraction, two different solvents, ethanol and -hexane, were used. Qualitative and quantitative composition of fatty acids was determined by GC, carotenoids and chlorophylls by HPLC, and volatile organic compounds were identified with an e-nose based on GC.
