In this paper experimental equilibrium data on the system supercritical CO2-orange essential oil and the system supercritical CO2-linalool are reported at 323.15 K and 343.15 K, for pressures in the ranges of 7.6-13.5 MPa. The behavior of the system supercritical CO2-orange essential oil was represented by means of thermodynamic model, based on Peng-Robinson equation of state. To this aim the orange essential oil was represented by a mixture of limonene, linalool and β-caryophyllene, selected to represent the classes of monoterpenes, oxygenated terpenes and sesquiterpenes respectively. The model uses only regression parameters calculated from binary sub-systems, CO2-limonene and CO2-β-caryophyllene (taken from literature) and CO2-linalool (calculated from the fitting of original data reported in the present work) thus being predictive with respect to the multicomponent mixture.
