Abstract
ⶠThe SFE of Satureja hortensis was studied, and the results were compared with essential oil composition obtained by hydrodistillation. ⶠThe SFE procedure offers many important advantages over hydrodistillation. ⶠThe SFE required shorter extraction time (15 min vs. 4 h for hydrodistillation). ⶠEnergy cost was higher for performing hydrodistillation than SFE. ⶠThe flexibility in the manipulation of the variables involved in the SFE process allows one to optimize the experimental conditions considering the selectivity of a substance or classes of substances of interest. ⶠThe selectivity of SFE allowed one to maximize the concentration of the selected compounds.
