Abstract

Supercritical carbon dioxide and superheated water (subcritical water above 100°C under pressure) have both been used to extract the buds of cloves (Syzygium aromaticum). The yields of eugenol and eugenyl acetate obtained by these methods and also by steam distillation and liquid solvent (Soxhlet) extraction are similar, but the yields of caryophyllene were lower for the methods using water.
