Frequently Asked Questions
What separation techniques are most relevant for lipids & terpenes?
Lipids & terpenes are most commonly separated using Supercritical CO2 Extraction, Reverse Phase Chromatography. Selection depends on scale, purity targets, and downstream impurities.
Where do these molecules sit in industrial bioprocessing?
Hydrophobic compounds including carotenoids, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential oils. Purified using supercritical CO2 extraction, molecular distillation, and silica chromatography.
How does untangle.bio help design these processes?
Drag-and-drop unit operations onto a flowsheet, define your feed stream from the built-in database, and let the route generator propose ranked process trains based on yield, purity, and CAPEX.
