Abstract
The characteristics that make supercritical fluids attractive solvents for extraction also make them potentially interesting solvents for biocatalysis (1) (see Chapters 23 and 25). Of these, the possibility to integrate the steps of reaction and downstream separation is certainly one of the most appealing.
