All rights reserved.In the recent past, supercritical fluids extraction (SFE) has gained distinguishable relevance because these have been identified as potential substitutes for traditional extraction methods that result in contamination and increased cost when applied at larger scales. Even though recent developments in these technologies have led to the identification of a wide range of areas in which SFEs can be utilized, a significant number of recent publications are oriented to applications in food sciences. In this chapter, we give a general vision of the recent approaches of these technologies. We also discuss the latest reports on the valuable products from these technologies that are useful in the food industry, and how these can be isolated from biomarine sources by methodologies based on SFEs. As a result, we found relevant areas in the revised literature. Therefore, we discuss the need for the implementation of extraction technologies for the optimization of these techniques as well as the development of mathematical models to improve the understanding of supercritical fluids to accelerate the incorporation of SFEs to the industrial scale.
