Supercritical fluids are expected to have a variety of applications due to their properties that differ from those of the normal pressure state. Typical applications are the extraction and cleaning of specific substances from objects. Currently, there are several products and commercial products using supercriticality, most of which were researched and manufactured in the 1980s and 1990s. The following are some of the applications of supercritical extraction Extracting the odor components of coffee, curry, etc., and applying the odor to retort pouch foods, etc. Extracting oil components such as essential oil of roses (aroma oil) and surgi oil (seeds). Extracting high value-added useful ingredients such as propolis and DHA. Extract and remove only a limited amount of caffeine, as in the case of decaffeinated coffee.
The Hiroshima Prefectural Food Industrial Technology Center has developed a pressure enzymolysis method as a "manufacturing method for seasonings. The pressure enzymolysis method can be used easily and safely in the "Marugoto Extract" developed by the company. There are two types of enzymatic decomposition methods: fermentation decomposition, which has been used for a long time, and enzymatic decomposition, in which enzymes are artificially added to promote decomposition, which has been used in recent years. The pressure enzymolysis method is a new method that is not confined to the conventional enzymolysis method, but is a further development of enzymolysis and has solved some problems.

Toyo Koatsu Co.
Various project businesses such as research and development and industry-academia collaboration for food, cosmetics, etc. utilizing supercriticality
The company has primarily developed and manufactured laboratory equipment for plants. The company's products cover a wide range of fields, including high-temperature, high-pressure, and vacuum testing equipment, petrochemicals, new energy, food chemistry, nuclear power industry, methanol synthesis, fiber chemistry, steel, paper manufacturing, and various solvents, all of which require high quality and precision. In particular, many of them are unique in the world, and our accumulated know-how and their special characteristics are the basis of our high technological capabilities. We also apply some of this know-how to the in-house development of various types of equipment. In the food industry, we have developed a crab shelling machine, an automatic filleting machine for frozen fish, and a device for boiling spaghetti in a short time, all of which have been well received for the accuracy and speed of their capabilities. In 1996, we received the Notable Invention Award from the Director-General of the Science and Technology Agency, and in 2000, we received the New Business Award Special Prize for our supercritical equipment. In addition, we are working on the ecology and recycling fields as environmental problems are becoming more and more serious. One such example is a device that extracts cypress oil from waste cypress wood. This system allows us to commercialize waste wood that has no use as oil and helps reduce the amount of waste. There are many similar needs, and we are expected to further develop this product by utilizing our know-how.
We manufacture a variety of equipment, including pesticide residue detection equipment, dioxin decomposition equipment, supercritical chromatography equipment, continuous supercritical equipment, and alkylation testing equipment. We are also involved in NEDO and other projects, and are currently conducting research on the effective use of biomass.
