Sea buckthorn press juice was subjected to percolation with supercritical carbon dioxide at 13.8 and 27.6 MPa. Control juice was not percolated. Percolation extracted about 81% of the oil present in the press juice, lightened the orange color compared with the control juice, and changed the character of the juice as perceived by observers. Percolated juices had no visible particulate that adhered to glass surfaces as did the control juice. All juices were perceived by taste panelists as to be very sour, and it was decided to sweeten the juices with 10% sucrose before proceeding with sensory evaluations. Control juice was more yellow and thicker in consistency than the percolated juices which did not differ from each other. Juices prepared by 27.6 MPa percolation were more frequently reported as having citrus and peach-like quality attributes compared with either of the other two juices. Analytical values for protein, oil, moisture, titratable acidity and pH were reported for the juices. Light microscopy indicated a lower oil content in the percolated juices and that the particle sizes were smaller in the percolated juices. Some morphological characteristics of the particles in both juice types are described.
