Supercritical Fluid Extraction of <em>Eucalyptus globulus</em> Bark—A Promising Approach for Triterpenoid Production<em></em>

Supercritical Fluid Extraction of <em>Eucalyptus globulus</em> Bark—A Promising Approach for Triterpenoid Production<em></em>

Eucalyptus bark contains significant amounts of triterpenoids with demonstrated bioactivity, namely triterpenic acids and their acetyl derivatives (ursolic, betulinic, oleanolic, betulonic, 3-acetylursolic, and 3-acetyloleanolic acids). In this work, the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of &...
