H. Gunnlaugsdottir et al., LIPASE-CATALYZED ALCOHOLYSIS WITH SUPERCRITICAL CARBON-DIOXIDE EXTRACTION .2. PHASE-BEHAVIOR, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 74(11), 1997, pp. 1491-1494
The phase behavior of systems containing ethanol plus lipid samples wi
th different lipid compositions plus carbon dioxide was studied visual
ly at 40 degrees C and pressures of 0.01, 9, 15, and 23 MPa by means o
f a high-pressure sapphire cell. The systems studied represent the mai
n components present in a lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis reaction of cod
liver oil in supercritical carbon dioxide. Two phases, a vapor and a
liquid phase, were observed in all systems studied at supercritical co
nditions.
