ResumoThis study evaluated the extraction of oil from candeia wood (Eremanthus erythropappus) and industrial residue using supercritical CO2. Extractions were carried out at 40, 55 and 70 °C and 160, 200 and 240 bar, with a mass flow rate of 1.96 × 10−3 kg min−1. The oils were characterized for α-bisabolol content, chemical composition and antioxidant activity. The highest extraction yield obtained was 1.42 wt% for the candeia wood and 0.41 wt% for the residue, both at 70 °C and 240 bar. The Sovová model was used to represent the experimental kinetics of extraction. The major compounds identified in the candeia oil were the sesquiterpenes α-bisabolol, eremanthin and costunolide, and the highest α-bisabolol content (74.45 g from 100 g of oil) was obtained by the lowest density of the solvent. The highest values for antioxidant activity, determined by the DPPH, FRAP and ABTS methods, were found for oil extracted at 70 °C and 240 bar.
