Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of supercritical fluid is a green technology that has been highlighted as an alternative to replacing conventional extraction methods with greater efficiency and a lower environmental impact for applications in various fields of knowledge. The main solvent used in different applications of this technology is supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) since it is nontoxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive, and easy to handle, allowing supercritical operation at low pressures and near room temperature. Supercritical fluid technology offers features that overcome many of the limitations of conventional extraction methods.
This Special Issue will be dedicated to the challenges of novel applications and opportunities for using supercritical fluid technology in various areas, highlighting its main technological advances.
High quality papers and original research will be published, primarily but not exclusively on the following topics:
- Extraction of bioactive compounds;
- Natural product applications;
- Applications in ecotoxicology studies;
- Food toxicology;
- By-products processing;
- Pharmaceutical science applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
