Book Chapter Description

Phenolic compounds are a group of compounds varying from complex polymerized compounds to simple phenols. They mainly contain hydroxybenzoic acids and hydroxycinnamic acids based on their type of structure. These compounds have been stated to show miscellaneous health benefits including anti-allergic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial activity. These health-related benefits make it important to develop techniques for their efficient extraction and quantification minimizing reduction in potency and retaining their functional value. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is one of such processes offering advantages with respect to extraction time, solvent consumption, extraction yields, and reproducibility. This chapter provides the insight about the phenolic compounds and their extraction from various plant by-products by SFE.
