Scale-up study of supercritical fluid extraction process for Baccharis dracunculifolia

- The maintenance the solvent flux constant in extraction was a suitable scale-up criterion.
- Five phenolic compounds of interest also were evaluated in the extracts.
- The scale-up and the optimal manufacturing cost were evaluated.
- The results indicate that the SFE process for Baccharis dracunculifolia may have economic viability.
