“…In the study of the extraction of remaining fat from the rendered fish meal, the extraction curves were linear with a slope close to the solubility value of the oil in CO 2 , which shows that the extraction rate has a close relationship with the solubility (Bucio et al, ). However, owing to the extremely low dielectric constant and polarizability of CO 2 , compounds with high molecular mass or hydrophilic molecules, such as proteins, asphaltene, colloids, and many other polymers, are not able to dissolve well in CO 2 , which has significantly limited its applications (Cummings, Trickett, Enick, & Eastoe, ; Iezzi, Enick, & Brady, ; Moriyoshi, Kita, & Uosaki, ; Rudyk et al, ). Therefore, improving the solubility of such compounds in CO 2 would be of great importance for the development of CO 2 utilization.…”
