| description | This study investigated the application of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) for the extraction of essential oils from plant materials with anxiolytic potential, focusing on the leaves of burrito (<i>Aloysia polystachya</i>) and the seeds of sucupira-preta (<i>Bowdichia virgilioides</i>). The supercritical extraction technique was chosen for its ability to produce high-purity extracts without residual solvents and to reduce the environmental impact. This study evaluated the influence of temperature (40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C) and pressure (22 MPa, 25 MPa, and 28 MPa) on extraction efficiency using a 2<sup>2</sup> factorial design with triplicates at the central point. The maximum yields were 1.2% for burrito leaves and 4.2% for sucupira-preta seeds. Despite their relatively low yields, the extracts contained a diverse range of chemical compounds, including fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids), squalene, β-carotene, vitamin E, and other bioactive molecules with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Statistical analysis demonstrated that pressure was the most influential factor affecting yield, whereas temperature played a secondary role. The Sovová kinetic model provided a good fit for the extraction curves, with determination coefficients (R<sup>2</sup>) above 0.95, thus validating the efficiency of the method. These results highlight the pharmaceutical potential of these extracts, particularly for therapeutic and anxiolytic purposes. |
