A Study on the Antimicrobial Effect of Natural Artemisia Extract using Super Critical Carbon Dioxide
Extraction of Natural Artemisia by using super critical carbon dioxide is operated under 40-50℃ and 200-250 atm, thus, conversion rate is very low as 7wt% while high energy is being wasted. When Natural Artemisia Extract is applied in the control of microbe, concentration and reaction time greatly affected to the growth of microbe. Especially, when refined oil concentration from Natural Artemisia added more than 1,000ppm, staphylococcus aureus and fungi are terminated completely. Thus, it is proven that Natural Artemisia Extract has antimicrobial effect.
