Economical viability of SFE from peach almond, spearmint and marigold

Prospective and Opportunities of High Pressure Processing in the Food, Nutraceutical and Pharmacy Market

“…Low prices, in addition to high pressure operation facilities are usually responsible for the fact that HPP is wrongly disregarded as a viable alternative. In these cases previous literature research reported that the cost of manufacturing was higher than or similar to those corresponding to the selling price of the compared product (Prado et al 2010;Pereira and Meireles 2010;Mezzomo et al 2011). This view logically constrains the industrial application of HPP to high-scale processes like coffee decaffeination, sesame oil or cork production (Lee 2012;Brunner 2012;King et al 2011) indicating that other factors must be taken into account to better appreciate and use the product with higher selling prices (Perez-Silvestre 2010).…”

“…Even though considered as substitutes, several processes are industrially viable due to the fact that the COM is lower than the market price of the corresponding product, e.g. peach almond, spearmint, grape seed, clove bud or sunflower (Mezzomo et al 2011). These good results are obtained for high productions in extractors of about one cubic meter volume.…”

“…As an example, not optimized operation conditions can affect significantly equipment cost (FCI) and hence increase the COM by 30 % (Melo et al 2014), or a 5 % increase of the interest rate can increase the pay back of the project (Fernández-Ronco et al 2013b). The raw material costs vary from values close to zero in by-products to high expenses that are affecting more COM that FCI, specially for cases where transport, heating, drying, or milling steps must be included (Leitao et al 2013;Rosa and Meireles 2005;Mezzomo et al 2011).…”

Production of phenolic and glucosinolate extracts from rocket salad by supercritical fluid extraction: Process design and cost benefits analysis

“…The solid remaining after extraction can be used as a matrix for the extraction of unsaturated fatty acids (Solana et al, 2014) or for animal feeding (Mezzomo et al, 2011), among other uses. As a consequence, the wastewater treatment has not been included in the cost evaluation.…”
